How do I simply pass a simple variable??

[eagletender]

I am simply trying to pass a variable to another page. I know my second
page can do Request("str") to retrieve that variable, but how do I pass it
in the first place?

I tried Server.Execute( "P2.asp?str="he llo") but I get errors.
I tried Response.Redire ct("P2.asp?str= "hello") but the variable is empty

I tried setting variables like you would in VB:
str="hello"
Server.Execute( "P2.asp")
and hoping the second page would pick it up, but I don't know how to make
that str variable global.

I am not using forms, I am not using cookies, I was told not to use Session
or Application variables, it's a variable being passed just the first time a
page is accessed, after that links will send the variables.

How do you Set str="something" and then have the 2nd page pick it up?????
It shouldn't be that difficult!

[if we are using vbscript:]

Response.Redire ct "P2.asp?str=hel lo"

or

myStrP1 = "hello"
Response.Redire ct "P2.asp?str =" & myStrP1

=============== =

I would prefer a session variable to get this pure serverside content from
one page to another.

Response.redire ct "?err=something _else"

<%
something = request.queryst ring("err")
response.write something
%>

Can't.

Forms, sessions and cookies would all do what you wish.

Have you tried using a session variable?

Buddy you are using quoted identifiers in the wrong way

Try this

1.
Server.Execute( "P2.asp?str='he llo'")
Response.Redire ct("P2.asp?str= 'hello'")

2.
Server.Execute( "P2.asp?str=hel lo&Variable2=wh atever you want goes here")
Response.Redire ct("P2.asp?str= The string here can contain spaces")

And to access any of the vairables just do this

x = Request.QuerySt ring("str")
Response.Write( x) ' do anything withthe variable
