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.
Take care,
Eron
