If I have a php page that uses the header function to load a second php
page, how can I access variables defined in the first php page without
passing them via the url?

Cookies.
Sessions.

I looked up Sessions in PHP fasts&easy web development and they looked pretty hard on the surface. Can you expanded on their usage a little?
Thanks,

Did you try the manual? There's explainations there, examples and a lot
of user contributed notes.

There's not much to them, at least for basic usage.
You call session_start() on every page.
You set a value in $_SESSION on one page.
The same value is then available on the next page.

It depends on how you're going to be accessing the files. a simple
include() might do, or you can just have your links to the toher file
include the variable:
<a href='b.php?var=<?php echo($var); ?>'>Link</a>
if those methods wont work, then you can use cookies and sessions.
