Basically I already have a script created that uses param and such, and it vaildates information from a database after the user imputs the data. Then if everything checks out (passes all my if else statements for making sure the user is ready to move on...It creates a list of "Policies" they must fill out. Now, the program already has their "personal information" stored in $name $id and $birthyear. So I need to contiune to keep those around, so once they click on one of the policy links, (a page with a form) once they click submit *enter vailidation here* it will update the database with their selections. If that makes sense. So basically I have it up to the point where I have a page with links, but I need to either securely pass the varibles to another cgi script to process the new form, or make it a way when they click on the link, it keeps using say index.cgi - thus the variables like $name $id and $birthyear are still able to be used without them having to be passed anywhere.
I hope that helps understand what I'm trying to do.
