[RESOLVED] $_SESSION['POST_VARS'] question

[yoki]

Hi,

I would like to know if I can store a non posted value into $_SESSION['POST_VARS']

say in a function I count a number of lines and store it in $no_lines

If I post my page to another page and want to access this value again, can I do it through a $_SESSION['POST_VARS']

If so, how would I do it?

Umm... not sure if your way would work.... Only because you wouldn't be posting the value of $no_lines unless you put it in a hidden field. What you could do instead is register a session variable "no_lines" and set it's value to the value of $no_lines:

session_start();
$_SESSION['no_lines'] = $no_lines;

Then, on the next page, just start the session, and when you need the $no_lines value, reference the $SESSION array:

session_start();
$no_lines = $_SESSION['no_lines'];
