Passing session ID through a form...

[Anon]

I have programmed a site that asks users to log in and they are then given a session ID/variable, which is passed from page to page through links, i.e. somewhere.phtml?session=$session. This is working fine. But, I have a small search form on the right of all the pages in the site. Obviously, this form uses a submit button to send the form info and I can not append the form button, type="submit", string with the session=$session string. So whenever a logged in user uses the form and they are taken to the results page their session ID is lost. Is there any way of passing the session variable to another page through a form submission?
Thank you.

Hi,

The form action for the submit form can be something like this :

<!-- this is for the search box -->

<form action=search.html?session=$session method=post>
your form
</form>

That should take your session through.

In the form element, the action should be to another page. Just make this action page.phtml?session=(sessionid) and make sure that the method is POST .. hope that helps.

another option would be:
<form action="search.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="session" value="<? echo $session ?>">
</form>
