Re: [PHP] Sessions and switching between php and htm documents
Did you register de variable? look for session_register() in the manual. You can see this articles too: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/mattias2312.php3 http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/mattias2105.php3 William.

RE: [PHP] Sessions and switching between php and htm documents
tested the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS prior to sending, set just fine. changed the next
page to php and tested for the session var... nothing.
[in login.php]
?
session_start();
# database check in here
if(match){
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[UserID_session]=$txtUserID; #from form field for user
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[UserNum_session]=$databaseresult; # from database result
for user number
header(Location: successlogin.php); # or .htm - changed this to test if var
was being passed
exit;
}else{
header(Location: wrongpassword.htm);
exit;
}
?
[in successlogin.php]
?
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[SellerID_session];
?
if I check session_id() - it is the same in both pages. Variables just aren't
getting stored/retrieved.
ideas?
as an aside, how do you destroy/start a new session with new session id? or do
you just destroy the variables then use the same session id for the new session?
Dave
Did you test and make sure the variable is set?
login.php
session_start();
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[username]=$formUserName;
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[username]
header(Location: displaypage.htm);
Also, for grins ang giggles, make the middle page in the chain a HP, start
the session and test for the variable. If it does not work then the problem
is not the middle page being html.
Subject: [PHP] Sessions and switching between php and htm documents
login.htm
form submits information
login.php
session_start();
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[username]=$formUserName;
header(Location: displaypage.htm);
displaypage.htm
show some static stuff
links to formpage.htm
formpage.htm
form submits information to form.php
form.php
session_start();
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[username]; - has no value
