Re: [PHP] SESSION wierdness....

I am writing a multi-page form, on the first page I 
session_register()  a mess of variables (8 of them), the first time 
through the form  everything works as expected, I can get things out 
of form variables  and into relevant the $_SESSION variables.  Items 
are put into the  $_SESSION variables on the submit.

However, if I go back through the form again,  the data in the  
$_SESSION variables is never updated.  For example, if I start the 
form  over again from page 1, there is data still in the $_SESSION 
variables  (which I expect) but attempting to update it in the submit 
section  never changes what's stored in the session.

Another thing that's odd is that I must coerce data into the 
$_SESSION  variables by explicit assignment --  even with 
register_globals ON I  cannot do a session_register('some_variable')  
on the first page of the  form and then simply use $some_variable to 
update the stored session  data on any of the pages. 
session_register( ) is depreciated with your version of PHP (4.2.2). 
Just do the following...

$_SESSION[homer] = doh!;

And set register_globals = off.

My question, how do you guys build your pages? Do your scripts 
generate all the HTML? I'm looking for tips and resources. Remember 
for my first site I've embarked on a fairly large site. Code 
maintenance will be an issue for me as I need to enhance and fix it 
later on.

The practice I would recommend is to remember to use functions for any 
code that is reusable. I create a separate file that encapsulates all my 
functions and include that file in all my scripts. That way every 
function is available anywhere in the project, and you can always add to 
that list. This is just one way you can break down your projects into 
more manageable pieces.

You need to call session_start() on frm2.php to resume the session

Hi there,
I'm new to this new PHP thing and man it's frusterating. Anyway, I'm not
gonna tell you my life story, but I just need to know how to allow users to
upload files to my server . I've already made a form with the input
name=whatever type=file and then a program that should get the varibles
[name] and [tmp_name] using $_POST. For some reason it's not working. Could
someone tell me how to do it, or what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Dimitri Marshall
 

Try using $_FILES or $HTTP_POST_FILES and make sure you have 
|enctype=multipart/form-data in your form tag.|
