To share values among scripts you need to use either $_SESSION or
Cookies. If you use sessions make sure you call the function
session_start() before anything is sent to the screen from your script.

Try these two scripts to see if sessions are working:

script1.php
<?
session_start();
$_SESSION['leaving'] = 'script1';
header('location: script2.php');
exit();
?>

script2.php
<?
session_start();
echo 'This is script2<br>The SESSION Super Array contains:';
echo '<pre>';print_r($_SESSION);echo '</pre>';
$left = $_SESSION['leaving'];
echo 'We left ' . $left . ' to come here!';
?>

If you invoke script1.php with a browser, you should see an output on
your screen like this:

This is script2
The SESSION Super Array contains:

Array
(
[leaving] => script1
)

We left script1 to come here!
