Hi Python,

I may make more sense for you to use SESSION instead of passing info around
with POST and GET.
Read here:
http://nl3.php.net/session

Be sure you read the about Objects and Session, because there are some
issues if you first start a session, and then declare the object.
First load the objectdefinition, then start the session, but that is all
explained at the php site.

Good luck.
