Hi,

 

I am doing a survey and need a little guidance.   I have data being selected from one table and I am trying to store it in another.     I have no problem selecting the data and displaying it, I just can't get it to continue on with the new survey.    Here is the file showing the data collected:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Question 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$_SESSION['cslogin'] = $_POST['cslogin'];
$_SESSION['domain'] = $_POST['domain'];
$_SESSION['project'] = $_POST['project'];
$_SESSION['ODM'] = $_POST['ODM'];
$_SESSION['hwphase'] = $_POST['hwphase'];
$_SESSION['ppmid'] = $_POST['ppmid'];
$_SESSION['survey'] = $_POST['survey'];
$_SESSION['month'] = $_POST['month'];
?>
Name: <?php echo $_POST['name'];?><br>
CS Login: <?php echo $_POST['cslogin'];?><br>
Domain:  <?php echo $_POST['domain'];?><br>
Project:  <?php echo $_POST['project'];?><br>
ODM:  <?php echo $_POST['ODM'];?><br>
HW Phase:  <?php echo $_POST['hwphase'];?><br>
PPM ID:  <?php echo $_POST['ppmid'];?><br>
Survey:  <?php echo $_POST['survey'];?><br>
Month: <?php echo $_POST['month'];?><br>

Everything from table 1 is displayed above.   No problem.

 

Here is the next page after this.  Question #1 has already been answered:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Question 2</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
session_start();
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
$cslogin = $_SESSION['cslogin'];
$domain = $_SESSION['domain'];
$project = $_SESSION['project'];
$ODM = $_SESSION['ODM'];
$hwphase = $_SESSION['hwphase'];
$ppmid = $_SESSION['ppmid'];
$survey = $_SESSION['survey'];
$month = $_SESSION['month'];
$Q1 = $_SESSION['Q1'];
$comment1 = $_SESSION['comment1'];
?>
Name:  <?php echo $_SESSION['name'];?><br>
Q1: <?php echo $_SESSION['Q1'];?><br>
Comments: <?php echo $_SESSION['comment1'];?><br>

It displays question 1 and comments with no problem.    This is where the "name - month" is lost.   

 

How would I have name - month continue on to be store in a new table?

 

I greatly appreciate your help.

 

Thanks!!

 

Note:  based on the question for #1, the user is redirected to question 2 or question 3.   Here is the file that is between Q1 and Q2

<?php
session_start(); 
$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$_SESSION['cslogin'] = $_POST['cslogin'];
$_SESSION['domain'] = $_POST['domain'];
$_SESSION['project'] = $_POST['project'];
$_SESSION['ODM'] = $_POST['ODM'];
$_SESSION['hwphase'] = $_POST['hwphase'];
$_SESSION['ppmid'] = $_POST['ppmid'];
$_SESSION['survey'] = $_POST['survey'];
$_SESSION['month'] = $_POST['month'];
$_SESSION['Q1'] = $_POST['Q1'];
$_SESSION['comment1'] = $_POST['comment1'];
switch ($_POST['Q1']) {
case "No":
   $url = "filename";
break;
case "Yes":
   $url = "http://odmQ3_a.php";
break;
case "Supplier Assessment is ongoing and issues still being worked":
  $url = "odmQ3_a.php";
}
header("Location: $url");
?>

I have no idea what you are asking.

 

But I can tell you are using session_start() incorrectly. It should only used before any output, this includes code that is outside of the php tags too. 

 

NOTE: When posting code please wrap it within 



 tags or click the <> button in the editor. I have edited your post for you.

The next page after the POST data page is this:


 


<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Question 2</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
session_start();
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
$cslogin = $_SESSION['cslogin'];
$domain = $_SESSION['domain'];
$project = $_SESSION['project'];
$ODM = $_SESSION['ODM'];
$hwphase = $_SESSION['hwphase'];
$ppmid = $_SESSION['ppmid'];
$survey = $_SESSION['survey'];
$month = $_SESSION['month'];
$Q1 = $_SESSION['Q1'];
$comment1 = $_SESSION['comment1'];
?>
Name:  <?php echo $_SESSION['name'];?><br>
Q1: <?php echo $_SESSION['Q1'];?><br>
Comments: <?php echo $_SESSION['comment1'];?><br>


 


Is this where I am loosing the data?   How would I re-send the POST data?   I greatly appreciate it.


 


Thanks

Let me get it straight.


 


You have a page that does this


$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$_SESSION['cslogin'] = $_POST['cslogin'];
$_SESSION['domain'] = $_POST['domain'];
$_SESSION['project'] = $_POST['project'];
$_SESSION['ODM'] = $_POST['ODM'];
$_SESSION['hwphase'] = $_POST['hwphase'];
$_SESSION['ppmid'] = $_POST['ppmid'];
$_SESSION['survey'] = $_POST['survey'];
$_SESSION['month'] = $_POST['month'];




Then a page that decides whether to go to Q2 or Q3 that does this (even though there is no mention of Q2)


$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$_SESSION['cslogin'] = $_POST['cslogin'];
$_SESSION['domain'] = $_POST['domain'];
$_SESSION['project'] = $_POST['project'];
$_SESSION['ODM'] = $_POST['ODM'];
$_SESSION['hwphase'] = $_POST['hwphase'];
$_SESSION['ppmid'] = $_POST['ppmid'];
$_SESSION['survey'] = $_POST['survey'];
$_SESSION['month'] = $_POST['month'];
$_SESSION['Q1'] = $_POST['Q1'];
$_SESSION['comment1'] = $_POST['comment1'];



then the Q2 page


<title>Question 2</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
session_start();
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
$cslogin = $_SESSION['cslogin'];
$domain = $_SESSION['domain'];
$project = $_SESSION['project'];
$ODM = $_SESSION['ODM'];
$hwphase = $_SESSION['hwphase'];
$ppmid = $_SESSION['ppmid'];
$survey = $_SESSION['survey'];
$month = $_SESSION['month'];



So my question was "When going to the second above, how are the POST vars re-sent?"


 


You wouldn't need to - just re-use the session vars. Don't reset them to the (empty) post vars.

Yes, I have this first:


 


session_start();


$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$_SESSION['cslogin'] = $_POST['cslogin'];
$_SESSION['domain'] = $_POST['domain'];
$_SESSION['project'] = $_POST['project'];
$_SESSION['ODM'] = $_POST['ODM'];
$_SESSION['hwphase'] = $_POST['hwphase'];
$_SESSION['ppmid'] = $_POST['ppmid'];
$_SESSION['survey'] = $_POST['survey'];
$_SESSION['month'] = $_POST['month'];


 


Then it is directed to this:


 


session_start(); 


$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$_SESSION['cslogin'] = $_POST['cslogin'];
$_SESSION['domain'] = $_POST['domain'];
$_SESSION['project'] = $_POST['project'];
$_SESSION['ODM'] = $_POST['ODM'];
$_SESSION['hwphase'] = $_POST['hwphase'];
$_SESSION['ppmid'] = $_POST['ppmid'];
$_SESSION['survey'] = $_POST['survey'];
$_SESSION['month'] = $_POST['month'];
$_SESSION['Q1'] = $_POST['Q1'];
$_SESSION['comment1'] = $_POST['comment1'];


 


 


The for the question 2 start I have this:


 


session_start();


$name = $_SESSION['name'];
$cslogin = $_SESSION['cslogin'];
$domain = $_SESSION['domain'];
$project = $_SESSION['project'];
$ODM = $_SESSION['ODM'];
$hwphase = $_SESSION['hwphase'];
$ppmid = $_SESSION['ppmid'];
$survey = $_SESSION['survey'];
$month = $_SESSION['month'];
$Q1 = $_SESSION['Q1'];
$comment1 = $_SESSION['comment1'];


 


So I should eliminate question 2 start and leave it as is?
