This is precisely the type of situation session variables are designed for. I'm not sure why you would think that using sessions is overkill. You can accomplish your task with sessions in less lines of code than it would take to implement another solution and the sessions solution is more elegant.

I have some form values (user details) which I want to pass to a web page which is two pages away. I.e. I have the variables as hidden values in a form (username, address, password etc) and the user submits these and cc details. If the credit card processing centre gives a yes answer to processing the cc transaction the address details are added to the db if not they are lost. At present the cc script is a single include on a blank page which runs for a couple of seconds and then the user is transferred to a success or failure page depending on the cc transaction processing companies answer. Problem is how do I maintain state of the users address... values for the two pages. 1. make them session- global values which seems a bit overkill 2. Make the cc an include and post back to itself. 3. Is it possible to have a hidden form which runs itself so carrying the form values to the final page. I am sure there is a simple answer and thanks in advance. Hope I have explained it OK.
