sessions and variables

[Anon]

Hello all

I have 2 pages: login.php, which contains a variable named $page, and admin.php, which reads the value of that variable. The variable is passed from login.php to admin.php by use of a session.

On the admin.php page, there is a form that looks like this:

<form method = \"post\" action = \"admin.php\">
Please make a selection:

<input type = \"text\" size = \"2\" name = \"page\">
<input type = \"submit\" value = \"Go!\">
</form>

That form is located in admin.php (as i said), so when the submit button is clicked, the page will refresh. However, the value of $page is always at zero, no matter what i do. The session is messing it up somehow.

What i need to be able to do is change the value of the $page variable inside the admin.php file.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!

I can't quite tell what you have done because you didn't post your session code. But if you have defined $page as a session variable, you can NOT override it with a post or a get. This is an important security feature.

thanks, but i just figured it out. You're right, i had to remove it from the session. Thank you!
