If you don't need the initial server-side script to use the variable
until the form in the new window is submitted, you can also use
JavaScript to copy the variable from the old window into the new Window.
For example, you can copy it into a hidden input field.

Ariel,

Assuming user_id is a PHP variable, you should be able to do it like
this.

<input type="radio"  name="Referrals" value="Y"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('/Pop%20Ups/Referrals.php?user_id=<?=$user_id?>
','Referrals','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=600')"/>
     Yes<br />

And in referrals.php...

<?
 $user_id = $_GET['user_id'];
?>

That's *one* way to do it. However, it's very insecure. If you're
setting variables like user_id they should never be accessible from a
GET param where the user can manipulate it directly. It would be best
to set user_id in a SESSION variable somewhere - then you can access
it from any page you want without having to worry about constantly
passing it as a parameter.
