[SOLVED] form info to session variable

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am sure this is simple.  I just need to know the most efficent way to get form data (from user) and store it in the $_SESSION[] array so I can pass data between pages.

 

using forms input type text and also using text area for larger entries.

 

would something like this work?

<input name="test" type="text" value="<? $_SESSION[test]?>">

that would work for calling it...

but to store the form data in the session

 

you'd have to have that form post to whatever page.. or itself

and then have

 

session_start();

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

etc etc

so...I'd have to do something like below.

 

page 1

session_start();
$_SESSION['test'] = $_POST['test'];
$_SESSION['test2'] = $_POST['test2'];

 

then

 

<form id="test" method="post" action="page2.php">
<input type="text" name="test" id="test"> <br />
input type="text" name="test2" id=test2">
</form>

 

so then on page2.php..I could do

 

session_start();

echo $_SESSION['test2'] . "     " . $_SESSION['test'] ;
