passing variable to another page without a form

is it possible to do? - pass variable from one page to another without using a form?and if yes, then how?
thanks.

sessions. sessions are just like a server side version of cookies (kindof) wich lets you strore variables in an array ($_SESSION[]) and then recall. be carefull with security issues regardng sessions though.

Or you can simply append the value in the URL

www.yaks.com/page.php?hurricane=isabel

To retrieve that variable you use $_GET

$myvariable = $_GET['hurricane'];
