[thelist] post variable availability

[Nan Harbison]

Hi All,

This keeps coming back to bite me, I keep expecting that if I am using an
include or require file on a web page, the $_POST variables should be
available to that code as well as the actual page I am on, but this is not
true is it? So do I have to save the variable as a $_SESSION variable or is
there a better way?
I hope I have made my question clear here.
 
Thanks,
 
Nan
