Awesome!! i will try it!

i am trying to build a forum. i would like for the main page to do some kind of loop in which it would build a list of posting titles exampleecho"<a href='whatever.php'>".$title."</a>"; then to submit the form without a button, just send the value of $title[/] in a post to the next part of the app? can anyone help?

well i don't know why it stopped working, but it was an easy fix. the function 'session_save_path("path");' where "path" is a directory of my choosing placed in the script before 'session_start();'.

function session_start() is like the second line in my script but i get these two warnings and as if that is not maddening enough it stopped working without my ever having made a change to the script. was working, now not! these are the warnings: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_583ee6cd28fe47c1898b3c2e292f6f7b, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/rhythmnr/public_html/cms/gigs/gigs.php on line 2 Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/rhythmnr/public_html/cms/gigs/gigs.php:2)

try this http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/3953.html

i've asked their tech support, i've not yet recieved an answer, i just thought i'd ask in here as well, the people here seem very knowledgable. even if they answer yes i won't know how to configure...no harm in asking right?

I agree with PERMISO, i suggest starting session at the beginning of the script.

the hosting service i am using does not have very many extensions installed. when i look outside my public_html folder, there is a folder labeled "php". inside this directory there is a directory called "ext", but i wonder if i can install extensions in this folder like i would if i were the sys admin? if so how would i configure this? i dont have access to the config php file?

Warning: Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0 what is happening at this moment is trying to load some values into session variables. i googled this warning and the most consistant answer is that session doesn't like null values but the values are not null. any help?

sure premiso, i must obviously missed that.

yes i did try fetch object...turns out that my code for storing the data in the first place is putting one white space in front of every row. not sure why, but that's an easy fix. good old trim() on the variables being sent to mysql will take care of that. thanks to all that tried to help :-)

and it does only post one record. but when i change the record i am asking for, some retrieve and some don't. that is the question. if this test code will get one record, why wouldn't it get them all? the code doesn't change nor does the query. only the result or lack there of.

that is currently the actual code. it will change once i figure out what is going on, but for now that is the test code and the test data.

the queries are EXACTLY the same

nothing doing!! some data works and some doesn't. i have no idea how this can be??????????
