Thank Eron, We use session variable extensively. However, there are many instances where that is not appropriate, for example, forms. -d
Perhaps I misunderstood your use case. If you are having users input data into a form, it then silently passes through to the action object (whether it be a script, page, etc.) silently in the REQUEST.form (which you can then get to). If you need this information to stay persistant throughout several pages (i.e. a multi-page form, or simply HREFs), sessions *will* work here, too. Check out that book chapter I referenced under the section "Embedding A Browser Id Into An HTML Link" for concepts. Another option I've found handy is forming arguments based on path traversal, especially with SQL methods.
