Variable scope issue

[Trek]

I have two plugins

Plugin 1 fires on hook: login_verify_success

Plugin contents:

global $tvbl;
$tvbl["var"] = "test";

Plugin 2 fires on hook: forumhome_complete

Plugin contents:

global $tvbl;
print_r($tvbl);

and it never has any data in plugin 2. Is vB doing something after a successful login that is clearing all variables, etc? I've tried several things, but can't seem to carry a variable over from the login_verify_success (where I need it) hook, once they log in.

Yes - it's returning a redirect to a new page, so when you get to forumhome_complete it's a different request.

I kinda figured as much, thanks for the reply. I'm just writing out the data I need to the DB and rereading it when I need it at the moment. Might not be the best solution, but it's the only one I've been able to come up with so far.
