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="hello") but I get errors.
I tried Response.Redirect("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!

myStrP2 = Request.Querystring("str")
I tried Response.Redirect("P2.asp?str="hello") but the variable is empty

[if we are using vbscript:]

Response.Redirect "P2.asp?str=hello"

or

myStrP1 = "hello"
Response.Redirect "P2.asp?str=" & myStrP1

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

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

Response.redirect "?err=something_else"

<%
something = request.querystring("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='hello'")
Response.Redirect("P2.asp?str='hello'")

2.
Server.Execute("P2.asp?str=hello&Variable2=whateve r you want goes here")
Response.Redirect("P2.asp?str=The string here can contain spaces")

And to access any of the vairables just do this

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