session problem

[windjohn]

New at php..

 

If I echo the $member_id it shows the number, but when the form is submitted it doesn't have the session value.  hence an error message that member_id doesn't exist.

 

Thanks,

 

John

 

<?php
session_start();
header ("Cache-control: private");


require_once ('includes/config.inc.php'); 




$member_id = $_SESSION['member_id'];
echo $member_id;
$status = "";


$status = FALSE;

if( isset($_POST['Submit']))  {
	require_once (MYSQL);


if (isset($_POST['status'])){
		$status = $_POST['status'];								
}

} // end if submit

							echo "<form action= 'form2.php'  method='post'>"; 
							echo "<p><h3> Professional Information</h3></p> ";
							echo "<P><b>* Employment Status: </b>";
							echo "<select name='status' id='status'>
									  <option selected='selected'>Select Status</option>
									  <option value='employed'>Employee</option>
									  <option value='BusinessOwner'>Business Owner</option>
									  <option value='Retired'>Retired</option>
								  	</select></p>";
							echo "<p>  <input type='Submit' value='Submit' name='Submit'></p>";
							echo "<input type='hidden' name='submitted' value='TRUE' />";
							//echo "<input type='hidden' name='id' value=' . $id . ' />";

							echo "<p><h6>* required </h6>";
							echo "</form>";


				if ($status ) {

					$q = "INSERT INTO member_work_history (member_id, status, date_created ) VALUES ('$member_id', '$status', NOW() )";
							$r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q) or trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc));

}

You have to give the value to your session

$_SESSION['member_id'] = $_POST[member_id];

 

Only after that the $_SESSION['member_id'] will be available everywhere the page starts by SESSION_START()

Thanks for the info, still having a problem.

 

The member_id is loaded on the page in a session, but once the form is submitted the session is lost. The error is  Undefined variable: member_id

 

I'm not sure how to code this on the page to have the session remain after the form is submitted.

Show the page where you set the actual session variable.
