Empty session variables

ldd76

Ok..I remove all HTML formatings all placed them at the end of the php file..But when I try to print the $ic_search variable from another php file it contains nothing...anyone knows how can I retain the value of that variable.

<?php
session_start();
session_register("ic_search");
$IC = $POST['txtICNumber'];
$emp_name = $POST['txtName'];
$emp_address = $POST['txtAddress'];
$date_join = $POST['txtDjoin'];
$job_title = $POST['txtJobTitle'];
$dept = $POST['txtDept'];
$sex = $_POST['rdoSex'];

$add = $POST['Insert'];
$ic_find = $POST['ICSearch'];

if(isset ($add) ){
.......
...............
...........
..........

Splitting this into a different thread because it's a different problem.

Why aren't you using $_SESSION[] instead of session_register()? (See the manual page for [man]session_register[/man] for a hint as to why it might not be working.)

$dept = $POST['txtDept'];
$sex = $_POST['rdoSex'];

$add = $POST['Insert'];
$ic_find = $POST['ICSearch'];
$ename_find = $_POST['EmpSearch'];

if(isset ($add) ){

$correct_IC = chkICNo($IC);

if(!$correct_IC)
print("Format of IC number is incorrect. Please check again");

$correct_empName = chkEmpName($emp_name);

$correct_Dept = chkDept($dept);

if(!$dept)
print("Format of Department is incorrect. Please check again");

if(!$sex)
print("You must specify male or female.");

if($correct_IC && $correct_empName && $emp_address && $correct_dateJoin && $correct_jobTitle && $correct_Dept && $sex){

$dberror="";
$rvalue=insertRec($IC,$emp_name,$emp_address,$date_join,$job_title,$dept,$sex,$dberror);
if(!$rvalue)
print "Error: $dberror</br>";
else
print "Thank for your input";

}

}

function insertRec($IC,$emp_name,$emp_address,$date_join,$job_title,$dept,$sex,&$dberror){

$IC = addslashes($IC);
$emp_name = addslashes($emp_name);
$emp_address = addslashes($emp_address);
$date_join = addslashes($date_join);
$job_title = addslashes($job_title);
$dept = addslashes($dept);
$sex = addslashes($sex);

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","root","root");

if(!$db){
print("Could not connect to database. Please try again later.");
exit;
}

mysql_select_db("lms");
$query = "INSERT into emp values ('".$IC."', '".$emp_name."', '".$emp_address."', '".$job_title."', '".$date_join."', '".$dept."', '".
$sex."')";
$result = mysql_query($query);

if($result){
echo mysql_affected_rows()." records inserted into database.";
mysql_close($db);
return true;
}
else{
$dberror =mysql_error();
return false;
}

}

if(isset($ic_find)){

$ic_search=$_POST['txtICSearch'];

$correct_IC = chkICNo($ic_search);

if(!$correct_IC)
print("Format of IC number is incorrect. Please check again</br>");
else{
$_SESSION["ic_search"];
header("Location: prtUserTableByIC.php");
//include("prtUserTableByIC.php");
}

}

if(isset($ename_find)){

$ename_search=$_POST['txtNameSearch'];

print("$ename_search");

$correct_name = chkEmpName($ename_search);

if(!$correct_name)
print("Format of Employee Name number is incorrect. Please check again</br>");
else{
$_SESSION["ename_search"];
//include("prtUserTableByName.php");
header("Location: prtUserTableByName.php");
}

}

Still dun work....I print out the value of ic_search in prtUserTableByIC.php and it is empty. When I change to the include("prtUserTableByIC.php"); statement it gives me the correct value.
