Basically passing parameters is very very simple from one page to the
other page!!

First the POST (where you need a <FORM>)

page1.php 

---
<form method="post" action="page2.php">
<input type="hidden" name="parameter1" value="value1">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
---
page2.php
---
<?php
	$parameter1 = $_POST["parameter1"];
	echo "Parameter1 = $parameter1";
?>
Parameter 1 = value1 will be shown in the browser!
--
GET is also possible, but I never use that in a form because then I will 
see a list with parameters in the Address bar and you are limited to a 
certain length of the parameterstring
Passing parameters by url.
Page1.php
---
<html>
	<head></head>
	<body>
		Link
	</body>
</html>
--
page2.php
--
<?php
	$parameter1 = $_REQUEST["p1"];
	$parameter2 = $_REQUEST["p2"];
	echo "First parameter = $parameter1<br>";
	echo "Second parameter = $parameter2<br>";
?>

Have fun :)
