[SOLVED] Displaying session in a form value

[MySQL_Narb]

How? Current code:

 

<span style='color:blue'><div class="box">Name: <input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php session->username ?>"><br><br>

 

And it gives me an error all the time. :/

Assuming you meant $session->username are you sure the $session object is defined?

[MySQL_Narb]

Yes it's defined, I did a test for it to echo on the page without being in a form, and it worked. But when I try and add it to the form value, nothing happens. 

[trq]

As I pointed out, your code was missing the $ from the start of session.

[trq]

Oops, it also needs to be....

 

<?php echo $session->username ?>

 

not simply

 

<?php $session->username ?>

[MySQL_Narb]

Yes, and I added it. And still nothing, here, I'll repost the code:

 

<span style='color:blue'><div class="box">Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $session->username ?>"><br><br>

[trq]

See above post.

[MySQL_Narb]

I edited my above post. Would it be a help to post my WHOLE code?

[trq]

Just post the relevant form section.

[MySQL_Narb]

Form code:

 

<form action="post.php" method="POST">
<span style='color:blue'><div class="box">Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $session->username ?>"><br><br>

 

And my session codes (On index, not login.php):

 

session_start();

echo $_SESSION['username'];

[trq]

As I suspected. I'm not sure the $session object is defined anywhere in your code. I'm not sure your even aware of what an object is.

 

Try...

 

<?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>

 

within your form.

[MySQL_Narb]

New code;

 

<span style='color:blue'><div class="box">Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>"><br><br>

 

Still not working.

[trq]

Have you called session_start() ?

<?php session_start(); ?>

 

Needs to go at the top of the page.
