Proper use of sessions?

sal

Hello everyone,

I have 3 forms. Fist is an insert, leads to a second which is an update.

So far I have got everything working.

Second form leads to third form which is an insert.

I am not able to pass into a field in the third form, the corresponding value from the second form.

on form2.php I have:

<?php
session_start();

$session_username=$HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
session_register("session_username");
?>

on form3.php I have
<form action="code_form3.php" method="post">
<input type='text' name='username' value='<?php if(isset($POST['username'])) echo $POST['username']; ?>'>

What am I doing wrong?

isset is used to see if a variable exists it doesnt check if its empty.

Oh! Actually what I am trying to achieve is to get the value of the field username brought over from the previous form and automatically enterec into the username field and the form.

I know how to store a variable from an insert form to an update form by using something like:

<form action=index-members.php?l=<?php echo $l; ?>&username=<?php echo $username; ?>&password=<?php echo $password; ?>&page=update method=post enctype="post">

However, coming from an update form to an insert form this doesn't seem to be working. I can see the proper values in the title of the page, but not inside the page if you know what I mean.

Anyone with a suggestion?

Thanks
