Look into session variables, they are stored on the web server and
available to all the following instances of PHP scripts from each
particular user. It is set up with one line of code at the top of each
script and then you can pass the variables onto the following scripts, no
need to worry about the the details of file or database calls for the
temporary info, it's built into PHP.
