How can you pass variables from one php script page to another?

Using PHP 4.4.9, how can you pass 10ish variables from one php script page to another php script NOT using the URL/POST method and NOT turning register_globals to ON?

Here's an example of how you use session variables:

script1.php:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['foobar'] = 'test';
?>

script2.php:
<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['foobar'];
?>

Note that this will by default use cookie-based session management.

Create a file, save the data in the file, open the file in the other script, and extract the data.

Typical answers would be:

* In the querystring (GET)
* Via a POST in hidden fields
* In a cookie / session variable
* By including the next page in the current page (thus making both pages the same page)
* By saving to a DB or file
* Via JS in a hidden frame, or iframe

I know some of these answers you requested not to include, but I was trying to be comprehensive. :)

I'd guess that a cookie would be the best solution.

However, without knowing exactly why you can't use POST (and presumably GET), it's difficult to have a clear view of the problem.

The best way would be with cookies because sessions sometimes have problems. Cookies, as much as I hate them sometimes, have proven to be the best way to maintain state (which is a fancy way of saying save variables). Cookies can also be set to different durations such as "until browser closes" or "forever" as well as time values like 30 minutes or 180 days. The longer values are often used for login info on sites.

Go with cookies, they are universal and if you ever change technologies, they will still be there in the new platform.

Zend framework has a useful session management component that can help with this.
