You need to look up $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['name'] - that's how to change the variables when they are already set...... i think most people have this problem when they first use sessions!
-----Original Message----- From: Terry Romine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 May 2002 15:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] session variables across several pages 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?
