Pass same info to successive pages

PAGE 1 - saved as yyyIntro.php is between the rows of periods.
..............
The secret word is HAPPY.
<TABLE>
<A href=yyyConfirm .php?i=HAPPY>Se nd the secret word to page 2.</A>
</TABLE>
..............
PAGE 2 - saved as yyyConfirm.php
............... ...
<?
$i=$HTTP_GET_VA RS["i"];
print "<BR>Word passed was - $i";
?>
<BR><a href="yyySend.p hp?k=i">Send the secret word to page 3.</a>
............... ...
PAGE 3 - saved as yyySend.php
............... ........
<?
$k=$HTTP_GET_VA RS["k"];
print "Secret word passed to page 3 was - $k";
?>
............... .......

The word HAPPY is sent properly from page 1 to page 2.
How can I now continue to send the word HAPPY
properly from page 2 to page 3?

First: try to prevent using the $HTTP_* arrays. They are deprecated and will no longer be available in PHP 6.0. Use $_GET, $_PUT, $_REQUEST etc.
The following shows the way to pass the value to script 3. You simply echo the value of $i in the value= attribute of the <a... statement.
[php]
<?php
$i=$_GET['i'];
print "<br />Word passed was - $i";
?>
<br /><a href="yyySend.p hp?k=<?php echo $i; ?>">Send the secret word to page 3.</a>[/php]

Thanks ronverdonk.
That solved the problem. I had a mental block on that one!
Is there a website that has other tags that will be
deprecated in php 6 ? So I don't waste any
more time writing code with old tags.

The reports about what is in and maybe not in 6.1 are constantly changing. However, to be on the safe side, never use deprecated functions!

Even I'm trying this example to incorpate in my work, but it's failed

<?
$i=$_GET['i'];
print "<br />Word passed was - $i";
?>
I just copied & pasted this whole stuff, but no message appeared on next page.

Note: my URL is ok means.... http.....test.p hp?i=HAPPY

To see what is going on you better show the code of all 3 snippets.
PLEASE PUT THESE CODE BETWEEN [php] and [/php] TAGS!!!!
