passing dynamic variables

[enoughtobe dangerous]

Am creating a video library using a database to store the url links to the
videos - how do I pass a variable selection from one html page to another page
- is it a url variable, a form variable, etc. I am thinking I will have the
user pull the selection from a drop down menu combo of 2 choices - 1. the date;
2. the connection speed. Then I would like the selected video to play in a new
window with a windows media player . . . is this possible - what type of
variable do I need to use. Thanks, for suggestions and help!!!!

If you are using form elements to they are form variables, assuming you are
using Method=Post. If you use Method=Get you can use URL variables.

Post is recommended though, you can use any thype of variable you want, you
could even make them session variables and store the info in the session so
that you would not have to prompt the visitor each time they want to view a
movie
