[SOLVED] GET request and SESSION variables not working together

I have a form page populated with javascript jump menus. I am trying to pass variables via a GET request into a SESSION variable to the same page so that I can keep my variables every time the page refreshes. Here is one jumpmenu field example:

 

<select name="series1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

<?php

while($series = mysql_fetch_array($series_result4)) {

<OPTION value="rf-cable-assemblies-test.php?series1=<?php echo $series['series_abbreviation'];?>" ><?php echo $series['series_name'];?></OPTION>

<?php

}

?>

</select>

 

This is where I pass the GET requests to SESSION variables(scripted on the same page):

 

$_SESSION['series1'] = $_GET['series1'];

$_SESSION['series2'] = $_GET['series2'];

 

Sessions seem to be working fine. The problem is I would like to store all of these SESSION variables(10 variables total) so that I can use them on the page.. However each time I select a new jump menu, the page refreshes and the SESSION variables get emptied except for whichever GET request I'm sending back to my page.

 

Is there a better way to get these SESSION variables from these fields without using a GET request?

 

Here is an older example of this form, using all GET requests and no sessions(I am working on a more simplified version on this new version on my local PC)..http://www.rfconnector.com/rf-cable-assemblies.php

Solved the problem using this code...

 

if((isset($_GET)) && !empty($_GET['series1'])) {

    $_SESSION['series1']=$_GET['series1'];

}

 

Searched through older threads and someone had a similar issue.
