Problems w. PHP Sessions in multi section survey

[barthr]

Hello

I am admittedly new ot PHP 4.3 and new to how session variable are created and accessed. Here iw what I'm trying to do:

I am trying to create a multi-section survey using session variables in PHP. Specifically, a session variable called $page is used to keep track of which page has been submitted. Each time the form is submited (to the same php page) the $page variable will be incremented (after retrieving its value from the session) and a new question will be presented. The code is below:

Code in survey.php

---

<?php
@session_start();
if (!isset($page)) {
$page = 1;
} else {
$page++;
}
@session_register(“page”);

switch($page) {
case 1:
	include ‘directions.php’;
	break;
case 2:
	include ‘q1.php’;
	break;
case 3:
	include ‘q2.php’;
…

?>
(page footer info here)

Code in question page

<form method=”post” action=”survey.php”>
(input fields go here)
</form>

---

When I run this code, only the first page appears, no matter how many times I hit the submit button. I realize that the $page variable is not being saved or accessed properly. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Thanks

Barth

You should not be using session_register() with PHP4.3.
Use $_SESSION.

<?php 
@session_start(); 
if (!isset($_SESSION['page'])) { 
    $_SESSION['page'] = 1; 
} else { 
    $_SESSION['page']++;
} 
(“page”); 

switch($page) { 
case 1: 
include ‘directions.php’; 
break; 
case 2: 
include ‘q1.php’; 
break; 
case 3: 
include ‘q2.php’; 
… 
?>

Code in question page 

<form method=”post” action=”survey.php”> 
(input fields go here) 
</form>
