</i>http://redirection/page?record_id=100

<input type='hidden' name='record_id' value='100'>

Thanks for replies.

Here is the situation.

From Inputform.php users click on submit button that goes to results.php. However, I don't want users see the results.php page. Therefore; I re-direct him to message.php page.

I am able to print hisname and a record number on results.php page, but I don't know how to print them on message.php page.

Thanks again.

[code=php]header("Location:message.php?record_id=$ID")[/code]

where $ID is something like $_GET['record_id']

in message.php you can then access $_GET['record_id']

Inputform.php :
[code=html]<form method="post" action="results.php">
Type in a record ID : <input type="text" name="record_id" />
<input type="submit">
</form>[/code]
results.php:

[code=php]<?php
//do whatever it is this page does....

$ID = $_POST['record_ID'];
header("Location:message.php?record_id=$ID");
?>
[/code]
message.php :

[code=php]<?php
echo "Done something whith record $_GET['record_ID']";
?>[/code]
