[SOLVED] sessions help

[jnerotrix]

is it possible to make a page like this

INDEX.php

<?php
session_start();
?>
<title> View it </title>
<center>

<table border="1">
<form action="./build.php" method="post">
<tr>
<td>Video Url:<input type="text" readonly="1" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" size="30"><input type="Text" name="url"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>(Number)<input type="text" name="times" value="10"> of Times to Display Video in <input type="text" name="reloadtime" value="5">(Seconds)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Set Width <input type="text" name="setwidth" value="425"> Set Height <input type="text" name="setheight" value="344">
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="center"><input type="submit" name="action" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="yes">
</td>
</tr>
</form
</table>

 

Build.php

<?php
session_start();
?>
<title> View it </title>
<center>

<?php
   
$_SESSION['numtimes'] = (isset($_POST['times']) && is_numeric($_POST['times']))?$_POST['times']:10;
$_SESSION['url'] = $_POST['url'];
$_SESSION['reload'] = $_POST['reloadtime'];
$_SESSION['w'] = $_POST['setwidth'];
$_SESSION['h'] = $_POST['setheight'];
$autoplay = "&autoplay=1";

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS["submitted"] == "yes"){
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='{$_SESSION['reload']}'>";
}
for ($i=0; $i < $_SESSION['numtimes']; $i++) {
echo "<object width='{$_SESSION['w']}' height='{$_SESSION['h']}'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/{$_SESSION['url']}&hl=en&fs=1'></param><param name='allowFullScreen' value='false'></param><param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/{$_SESSION['url']}&hl=en&fs=1$autoplay' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='false' width='{$_SESSION['w']}' height='{$_SESSION['h']}'></embed></object>";
}
?>

 

and then go to another page automatically after 30 seconds without losing the sessions data?

You;ve kind of got the right idea. As long as you use session_start() at the top of the page you want to retrieve the data it will all remain in the stored session untill the seesions over (usually about 26 minutes or a browser close)
