passing data from one page to another

[jacko310592]

hey guys

i have the follwoing code to get information from one page and place on another:

 

(1st page) page to get info from:

<?php session_start();
$_SESSION['data'] = "blah blah blah"; ?>

 

 

(2nd page) page to show info on:

<?php session_start();
$data= $_SESSION['data'];?>  // at top of page

<?php echo $data; ?>

 

i would like to use this code to show an error report, but the thing is that once the information has been called on the second page it stays there,

i would like it so if the page is reloaded the info will be reset/not show until the 1st page is loaded again.

 

can anyone help me please?

 

thanks everyone

use the unset function for that var on the second page

asuming ive done this the way you ment (which i probs havnt), it didnt work :/

it just stops it from showing all together

 

<?php session_start();
$data= $_SESSION['data'];?>

<?php	unset($data);
	echo $data; ?>

 

any suggestions or corrections?

where is $captchaIncorrect defined on page two ? if its in $_SESSION['data'] then

 

unset($_SESSION['data']['captchaIncorrect']);

sorry about that, coppied the wrong names then XD    thats another that i was also doing.

 

so would that become

 

<?php session_start();
	$data= unset($_SESSION['data']);?>

<?php	
echo $data; ?>

 

if so, that gives me the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_UNSET in http://mysite.com/index.php on line 33

 

which is refaring to line "$data= unset($_SESSION['data']);?>"

 

 

thanks for the replies by the way

<?php session_start();
      $data= $_SESSION['data'];
unset($_SESSION['data']);
?>

<?php   
echo $data; ?>
