Insert session variable into form

[sporks]

I've set a session variable that spits out the ID of the previous page.  There is a hidden field on my insert form which I've set to equal the session variable.  I have the variable echoing so I know it works but if you insert the form, the field shows up as null.  What is wrong with my field?

 

<input type="hidden" name="pastID" value="<?php $_SESSION['fromID'] ?>" />
  <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1" />

 

Also I have a repeating region spitting out text and I wanted to place the word 'or' between each one.  Is there a way I can put something in between a repeating region without it that something also on the end.

 

ie NOT: 'field one' or 'field two' or

Well the problem with the value in your input being null is happening because you're not echoing the session variable. Try this:

<input type="hidden" name="pastID" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['fromID']; ?>" />

<?=$_SESSION['fromID']?>

Great got that all sorted.  Thanks guys!

 

How do I go about inserting 'or' between titles without having it spit at the end of a list..as in only between repeating records?

Which you shouldn't recommend since the majority of issues are because short tags are off.

 

<?=$_SESSION['fromID']?>

If you are using a while loop you could do something like this:

<?php
$x = 0
while (what ever your condition is)
{
if ($x != "0")
{
echo "or";
}

//your repeating title code here

$x++;
}
?>

 

This will place 'or' before every title except when $x is equal to 0 which is only on the first loop so no 'or' will appear before the first title.

Note: You can do this with any loop, I just used while as an example.

 

I hope that solved all your problems
