whew! is there a tutorial you know of that might help me? in essence
i have page 1 "select category," page two "select subcategory," page
3 "fill out the form, click submit," data is entered into database,
user is directed to a new page. i thought from this php 4.1 book that
i was doing that. :-) i guess not. anyway... thank you very much,
again. addison

correct... i am able to echo values again.
Hmm, okay :-)
i had the following to carry forward cat and subcat values:
<?
session_start();
if (@$auth != "yes")
{
header("Location: login.php");
exit();
}
include("config.php");
$scobj = mysql_db_query($dbname,"select * from subcategory where
id=$subcategory")
or die (mysql_error());
$scrow = mysql_fetch_object($scobj);
$cobj = mysql_db_query($dbname,"select * from category where
id=$scrow->category")
or die (mysql_error());
$crow = mysql_fetch_object($cobj);
$sql = "SELECT first_name,last_name FROM accounts
WHERE email='$logname'";
$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die (mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC))
extract($row);
I don't see anything in that code which would carry the category and
subcategory forward, UNLESS $scrow and $crow are registered as session
variables.
again, from this new php 4.1 book, i am following the examples and
guidelines. i guess that since register_globals is turned on on the
server they are passing.?

how am i to get rid of it.
Don't put it into $formdata! Remember you're the one who is putting it in
there!
i guess i am not sure how to keep it out of $formdata. again, the
book... addison
Presumably at some point you have some code which will insert the contents of
$formdata into your database. If that code is properly written then the
presence (or otherwise) of "next_" should not affect its operation.
