Pass variables between two PHP pages without using a form or the URL of page

Question

I want to pass a couple of variables from one PHP page to another  I am not using a form  The variables are some messages that the target page will display if something goes wrong  How can I pass these variables to the other PHP page while keeping them invisible   e g  let s say that I have these two variables     Original page  message1    A message    message2    Another message     and I want to pass them from page1 php to page2 php  I don t want to pass them through the URL     I don t want  page2 php message    message1   amp message2    message2   Is there a way  maybe through   POST   to send the variables  If anyone is wondering why I want them to be invisible  I just don t want a big URL address with parameters like   amp message Problem while uploading your file  This is not a valid  zip file  and I don t have much time to change the redirections of my page to avoid this problem

Have you tried adding both to   SESSION   Then at the top of your page2 php just add    lt  php session start

Sessions would be good choice for you  Take a look at these two examples from PHP Manual      Code of page1 php    lt  php    page1 php  session start     echo  Welcome to page  1      SESSION  favcolor      green     SESSION  animal        cat     SESSION  time         time        Works if session cookie was accepted echo   lt br   gt  lt a href  page2 php  gt page 2 lt  a gt        Or pass along the session id  if needed echo   lt br   gt  lt a href  page2 php     SID      gt page 2 lt  a gt      gt       Code of page2 php    lt  php    page2 php  session start     echo  Welcome to page  2 lt br   gt     echo   SESSION  favcolor       green echo   SESSION  animal         cat echo date  Y m d H i s     SESSION  time         You may want to use SID here  like we did in page1 php echo   lt br   gt  lt a href  page1 php  gt page 1 lt  a gt      gt    To clear up things - SID is PHP s predefined constant which contains session name and its id  Example SID value   PHPSESSID d78d0851898450eb6aa1e6b1d2a484f1

Here are brief list    JQuery with JSON stuff   http   www w3schools com xml xml http asp    SESSION - probably best way Custom cookie - will not  always  work  HTTP headers - some proxy can block it  database such MySQL  Postgres or something else such Redis or Memcached  e g  similar to home-made session   locked  by IP address  APC - similar to database  will not  always  work  HTTP REFERRER URL hash parameter   e g  http   domain com page php param - you will need some JavaScript to collect the hash  - gmail heavy use this
