mogosselin Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 You could set your $applicant into the session using $_SESSION['applicant'] = $applicant. And then, to retrieve it in your other script: $applicant = $_SESSION['applicant']; Note that you need to use session_start() before using the $_SESSION variable. session_start() info: http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php $_SESSION info: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.session.php Note that you can use the 'code' button when you write your post to include code. It will be easier to look at it that this way Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/290643-using-varables-across-php-pages/#findComment-1488890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginerjm Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 As Mogosselin says - you can use the $_SESSION array. Which you are already using as I see "$_SESSION['applicant'] already in use in your code!!!
