It seems to me you have two logical solutions: 1) Store the user's data (submitted from the form) in your database. The data can retrieved using an id number passed from page to page in the url. You can delete the records after the e-mail has been sent. 2) Put the user's data in an array, serialize the array using the serialize() function and then store the data in a flat file. After the e-mail has been sent you can drop (delete) the file. Again, you would pass an id number from one page to the next using the url. An alternative to passing an id number from page to page would be to use a cookie to temporarily identify the user. This is less reliable because some users block cookies. You could also use sessions to identify the user rather than an id number, and could use a session entry to find where your data is stored. For security purposes, I like the flat file option personally. I would have an unknown and complex prefix for each file name. For example if your id number is 345678, you would have a secret code such as "yabba_yabba_hey_" that would automatically be put at the start of each file name when the file is saved and the file is retrieved. This makes it necessary for users to know both a valid id number and the secret prefix to look at anyone else's data. Using the database requires creating an abstraction layer to protect the data, and that is too complex in this scenario. If you have a high volume of traffic, the database is faster and more efficient to use, and you will have to add an abstraction layer to protect other user's data. gentlemike2 From: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of shridhar Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2010 12:31 AM To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Need urgent help hi, Need help. I am using a single email function with if condition which will extract values from the redirected file. I have a problem here. The email script is the third file and process is the second file and the form is on the first file. The problem is i am not able to get the values into the email file as the form values are processed in the second file. Any idea how to get the values into the email file. Of course i can send the values on the url but it will be displayed on the address line. Anything else. Regards [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
