hello,
I created little script in PHP 5 in which I entered the following line

<form name="transfert" method="post" action="wogl_transfert.php">
<input name="rep_final" type="hidden" value="<?=$rep_final?>">
<input name="rep_source" type="hidden" value="<?=$rep_source?>">
<input type="submit" value="TRANSFERT">

the "hidden" input helped me to keep the rep_source variable with the same
value in the next page than in the new page.

I'm not a specialist but it has been working well until today.

Olivier
energize!

No. HTTP requests are stateless, meaning they have no memory of what
requests happened before or after, or how those requests were made. PHP
does not affect that behaviour at all; it's entirely a matter of the
HTTP protocol.

If you want the POST variables to propogate to the redirected page, use
a session.
