[RESOLVED] SESSION question

[123]

Hi

I am writing a script that deals with sent form data on the same page as the form.

I have stored the data from the form in a session and i can access the values from that session when i'm on the same page but when i go to another page in the application i can not access this session and i get the error msg

Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in.......

I know the session exist because i can access it on the previous page i created it on.

Any Ideas why this is???????

Does it have any thing to do with dealing with the form data on the same page as the form.

Thanks

Post your code. I've registered session variables on a page described as yours and I have no problems and I wouldn't think I would.

Heres the code
Thanks again

<?php


$_SESSION['c_intials'] = $_GET['c_intials'];
$_SESSION['c_surname'] = $_GET['c_surname'];
$_SESSION['title'] = $_GET['title'];

//header ('location: generalletter.php');
//exit ();


?>

<form action="lc.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="c_intials"/>
		<input type="text" name="c_surname"/> Surname
		<input type="text" name="title"/>
	<input type="submit" name="submit"/>
	</form>

I don't know if registering a $_GET variable directly works so I'll try:

$c_intials = $_GET['c_intials'];
$c_surname = $_GET['c_surname'];
$title = $_GET['title'];
$_SESSION['c_intials'] = $c_intials;
$_SESSION['c_surname'] = $c_surname;
$_SESSION['title'] = $title;  

Then see what happens.

Hi thanks for your help

Still do not seem to be able to access the session from another page even with your example

I figured out why i got the last error

it was beacuse i did not use "session_start()" (silly mistake)

However i still can't access the session from another page

the error msg is now "Notice: Undefined index: title..........."

I was about to say you don't have session_start() lol. I missed that also.

The sessions are registered okay then. You must be retrieving them wrong on the other pages. What is the code for the other pages? You placed session_start() didn't you? 😃

[123]

ok

I have figured it out

I did not use the session_start(); on the page where the session was created

surprised i did not spot that.

Think i am going to take a break from the computer

Thanks 4 your help it is much appreciated
