Keeping GET data over multiple pages without submitting again?

[oBuLLeTz]

I have a hangman game where the user can choose one player or two player.The way it is designed, the game is all on one page and uses post and get variable if statements to display the correct information. Upon first arriving to the page the user has the option of clicking a button which submits via GET either one player or two player. Then depending on that, and a \[code\]if($_GET['numplayers']==1)\[/code\] type of statement the appropriate content is loaded.My issue is that for two players, I also have a form submission for one player to choose a word, so it has to be post (so the other player couldn't see it in the url). And then there's the fact that on this second submission I lose the numplayers get variable.Is there a way I can keep the \[code\]$_GET['numplayers']\[/code\] variable without having to use session variables? I don't want it to stick around that long, my fear being if they move to another page and then back to hangman, but want to play with a different number of players then it will not work.
