Hello PHP group,

I am a novice to PHP. I have searched through the newsgroup on my
issue but I am not sure I know what I am missing.

I am creating an application to help the veterinarians at the animal
hospital I work at.

I have a form which present a select list of animals (from a database
query) which belong to a client. I can see the animal names in memory
and the client account number. When I select the appropriate animal
from the list, I see the selected animal name ("spot") but everything
else in memory I need (client account number) has disappeared. I've
heard this is normal.

I've tried storing the client account number is a session
($_SESSION['account_number"] before the submit, and I can see it, but
this value too seems to be eliminated once the form is submitted.

I've read I can use Javascript to get around this, but I want to learn
the PHP way.

Thanks for your time and help.
