Hi am quite new to PHP,
I am building a website using HTML forms PHP and a mySQL database.
I have alot of inter-connected pages using HTML drop-down menus.
Once an option is selected from the menu you are redirected to a new page.
This new page contains PHP code $variable = $_GET['dropdownmenuname']; from the previous page. But I get to a stage where I do this several times and I need the selection variable from the first page to create a mySQL query in the cuurent page.
Firstly you select say "Branch" from "Branch, Client, Owner, Property for Rent, Staff or Viewing. This passes "Branch to a variable $selectDelete.
This then directs you t another page.
This page contains a drop-down menu containing specific options relevent only to previous selection. Say you select "B7". This is passed to another variable $selectRow. Once you select an option from this page it passes variables from the first page say $selectDelete and the second page say $selectRow to a new variable for mySQL $query = delete from $selectDelete where Bno ='$selectRow';
This example is on my website

Is it possible to pass variables like this
Sorry if this is confusing.

Re: Global variables between pages
You can pass them in hidden inputs, or save them in the session.
