Passing variables page to page
Hello Experts,
I need to echo the 1st referred page (passing the variables from page to page).
Here are the pages sequence:
Page1: Landing page (there is no form in this page)
Page2: Select product there is no form in this page)
Page3: Online form where the client fill in info.
Page4: Gets the form variables and submit an email.
* All the pages are PHP
What I am trying to achieve is getting the landing page URL into the email.
That’s a long sequence of pages. I face a problem since “page2” does not have a form so I cannot use a hidden input field.
Can someone suggest?

Executive summary:
1. On every page without exception make the first statement be session_start(); this must come before any output at all, even whitespace.
2. Put variables into the session like this: $_SESSION["thing"] = "cheese";
3. Find the cheese on subsequent pages like this $cheese = $_SESSION["thing"];

To store the landing page, you will want a variable in your session that looks something like this:
$_SESSION["landing_page"] = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
Run this script to see what these variables contain (look near the bottom of the output).
$_SESSION["landing_page"] = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
Run this script to see what these variables contain (look near the bottom of the output).
<?php phpinfo();
