back to page where people came from ??

after much problems with cookies,
i get into another problem in which i
really need some help ! please !

i refer a variable this way :
$mypage = $SCRIPT_NAME;
A href='view_item.php3?page=".urlencode($mypage);

then in view_item.php3 i can make a href to
that page, no problem...
but....
when i do a submit on that form with action=$PHP_SELF $page has lost its value.

what am i doing wrong ???

i really need help ! (

thanks !
Jan.

more specific detail :

when i post a form with PHP_SELF,
i lose all the HTTP_GET_VARS.

how can i keep the HTTP_GET_VARS
without using a cookie ???

i hope now it's easier to help me :-)

Jan.

You have to specifically pass any variables you want to keep. That doesn't happen automagically even if POSTing to the same page.

You can do this with a form like this:

while (list($key,$value)=each($HTTP_GET_VARS))
{
print "<input type=hidden name='$key' value='$value'>";
}

If you don't want to pass ALL the GET variables you'll have to specifically declare each one in a hidden input field.
