[RESOLVED] Help with SESSION

MitchEvans

How do I get the following results into my session.

echo "<form action='presurvey.php' method='POST'>\n";

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
extract($row);
echo"<input type='checkbox' name='interest[$Text]'
value='<u><strong>$Paragraph</strong></u><p>$Text'>$Paragraph\n";
echo"<br>\n";

}
echo "<p><input type='submit' value='Submit final documentation'>
</form>\n";
$_SESSION['Paragraph']=???????;

I've tried putting the $Paragraph and i've tried the $Text but it just brings up the last one in the database not the chosen ones.

One possibility:

$_SESSION['data'] = array();
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  $_SESSION['data'][] = $row;
  // ...rest of loop...
}

In subsequent pages you could then do a foreach on the $_SESSION['data'] variable to access the same query result data.

So how do I get that to show these results on this page here then?:

<?php session_start();?>
<?php
$value = $_SESSION['Paragraph'];
$sometxt = 'text will appear here';
$fname = 'presurveydoc.doc';
header("Content-type: application/msword");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fname\"");
header("Content-length: " . strlen($value));
header("Content-transfer-encoding: ascii");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

echo $value;
die();
?>

It would be similar to the while loop in your first example, except using a foreach loop:

session_start();
$value = "";
foreach($_SESSION['data'] as $row)
{
  $value .= $row['Paragraph']."\n"; // might need that to be "\r\n"
}

Any chance you could have a look at this for me, would be very greatful.
The code for my first page where the data has to come through is this:

/form for checkboxes/
echo "<form action='presurvey.php' method='POST'>\n";
//$_SESSION['Paragraph']=array();
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{

extract($row);
$_SESSION['Result']=;
echo"<input type='checkbox' name='interest[$Text]'
value='<u><strong>$Paragraph</strong></u><p>$Text'>$Paragraph\n";

echo"<br>\n";

}
echo "<p><input type='submit' value='Submit final documentation'>

The code for the other page where i want the data sent to is:

<?php session_start();?>
<?php
//foreach($SESSION['Paragraph'] as $value)
//$value = $row['Paragraph']"\n";
$value = $SESSION['Result'];
$sometxt = 'text will appear here';
$fname = 'presurveydoc.doc';
header("Content-type: application/msword");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fname\"");
header("Content-length: " . strlen($value));
header("Content-transfer-encoding: ascii");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

echo $value;
die();
?>
