 Yes, you just have to call the second script from the first. You could
 try:
 
 at the end of the first script---
 header("Location:
 hxxp://your.domain.com/second_script.php?var1=$var1&var2=$var2");
 
 ....and then in the second script access the variables via $_GET['var1'] or
 $_REQUEST['var1'] etc. But then you more than likely need the second script
 to return back to the original page so you'll need another header() call
 from there.
 
 ....or you could use the 'curl' extension (almost same effect)
 
 ....or you could just incorporate the two scripts together. chances are this
 is your simplest solution.
