I am a newbie to PHP so you will have to fogive me if I say anything that does not make sense.
I have an .HTM file that contains a form with an input field called "FULLNAME". When I submit this form it POSTS to a PHP page called index.php. At the top of index.php I turn the input of the form into session a variable by doing the following:
session_start();
session_register('pass_author');
$pass_author = $HTTP_POST_VARS['FULLNAME'];
The index.php page continues processing and then loads a "required" called common.php. The reason this is important is because it also has "session_start();" as the first line because this file is used in other pages, and I thought it was an easy way to get to intialize the session so that the session variables would be available. After the required common.php line there is a header redirect to another PHP page called page2.php, which has the common.php loading as a required at the top of the page, which means that the "session_start();" happens again when this page loads.
I am using the following code to check to see if the session variable made it to page2.php:
if (!session_is_registered('pass_author')){
echo "The session was not registered";
exit();
}
else{
echo "The Session was registered";
exit();
}
The very first time that you submit the form the session variables do not seam to get created, but if I go back and resubmit the form everything seams to work just fine and the session variables are created and can be used on my other pages.
Please help if you can,
