[Jerry Kapron]

This is a simplified version of what I do to pass POST data:

These two functions are included in all my scripts:

function post_save() {
        if(count($_POST))

              $_SESSION['post_around'] = $_POST;
       }
}


function post_read() {
       if(!count($_POST) && isset($_SESSION['post_around']) ) {
              $_POST = $_SESSION['post_around'];
              unset($_SESSION['post_around']);
       }
}


I place this code near the top of each script:

session_start();
post_read();

and this right before each header( 'Location: ...') call:

post_save();

Hope this helps,
Jerry]
