First, forgive me if this seems to be cross post -- but it does involve
both PHP and MySQL.
My client requirements are:
From their website, they display a list of classes. On registering for a
class, the user is sent to a secure page that is hosted on a different
secured server that does not have access to the client's MySQL database.
I pass in the class info so the registration form can display
"Registering for class $title<br>$start_date<br>$cost"
The form then gathers name, address, etc including credit card info.
On submitting the form, the data is processed and a PGP email is sent
out to the registar.
Then a thank you page is displayed and the user is forwarded back to the
main site, where a second page is displayed allowing for either download
of class materials or to return to the class list. This page is where I
post the necessary info into the MySQL database.
So my dilemma -- I want to use session_register to capture the field
info from the registration form and then read it back out on the website
thank you page.
I have
session_start();
session_register("start_date");
session_register("end_date");
session_register("section");
session_register("class");
session_register("title");
session_register("class_id");
session_register("register_id");
session_register("name");
session_register("employer");
session_register("e_address");
session_register("e_city");
session_register("e_state");
session_register("e_zip");
at the beginning of the form page (select_class.php) and the thank you
page on their website (thanks.php) where I post the info to MySQL.
The form includes inputs such as
<td><p><b>Name:</b></p></td>
<td colspan=3>
<input type=text name=name maxlength=100 size=60
value="<? echo($name); ?>">
</td>
What happens is that old data shows up for name, and address (the only
fields I have tested so far) regardless of what I enter in the form. I
was under the impression that a registered variable is updated once the
page is processed. If I am calling the same page (select_class.php) to
process the form, does the data get reverted somehow? The data just
doesn't seem to get updated to the form inputs.
What might I be missing?
Thanks in advance
