Pjack125 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I am rather new to php and have to use it for a project. and I am having issue passing session value across multiple pages. in page one i have a simple for page1.php ------------------------ <html> <head> </head> Body <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="page2.php"> <input name="PName" type='text' class="style9" id="PName" /> <textarea name="Description" id="textarea" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea> <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Next>>" /> </form> </body> </html> in the second page I have the following <?php session_start(); $PName = $_POST['PName']; $Description = $_POST['Description']; //setting the sessions I know the above was was probably unnecessary but that's how i have it currenlty $_SESSION['PName'] = $PName; $_SESSION['PDesc'] = $Description; ?> <html> <head> </head> Body <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="page3.php"> <input name="Phone" type='text' class="style9" id="Phone" /> <textarea name="Bio" id="bio" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea> <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Next>>" /> </form> </body> </html> Finally on page four i want to retrieve data from page1.php but i can't figure it out. what i have for page3.php is <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['PName']= $_POST['Phone']; $_SESSION['bio'] = $_POST['Bio']; echo $_SESSION['PName']; ?> I don't know what i am doing wrong is the session dying to early? or is it because i posted new information into the http header when i submit page2.php? I eventually want to carry this session througout four more pages...

MadTechie Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi Pjack125, please see untested example below Grab from sessions <?php session_start(); // $_SESSION['PName']= $_POST['Phone']; //removed this would set it to nothing //$_SESSION['bio'] = $_POST['Bio']; //same as above echo "<br>PName: ".$_SESSION['PName']; echo "<br>PDesc: ".$_SESSION['PDesc']; echo "<br>Phone: ".$_POST['Phone']; //From Page 2 ?> or Add the data to the form in a hidden box (not secure) <?php session_start(); $PName = $_POST['PName']; $Description = $_POST['Description']; ?> <html> <head> </head> Body <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="page3.php"> <input name="Phone" type='text' class="style9" id="Phone" /> <textarea name="Bio" id="bio" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea> <input name="PName" value="<?php echo $PName; ?>" type='hidden' class="style9" /> <input name="Description" type='hidden' value="<?php echo $Description; ?>" class="style9" /> <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Next>>" /> </form> </body> </html> and read the post as normal <?php echo "<br>PName: ".$_POST['PName']; echo "<br>PDesc: ".$_POST['Description']; echo "<br>Phone: ".$_POST['Phone']; ?> EDIT: fixed typo Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/135491-solved-help-using-session-across-multiple-pages/#findComment-705848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pjack125 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 MadTechie you way works but i now have this Warning being displayed. Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/content/P/i/x/PixelFX/html/leWizPM.php:2) in /home/content/P/i/x/PixelFX/html/leWizPM.php on line 3 is it because i didn't close the session on the last page? Nevermind Thanks Man it worked. Just keep forgetting the not even a white space before session start rule.
