Variables

[debz89uk]

I have a index.php page which displays a different output depending on whether information is uploaded (from a file php-mysql table) or whether is it entered through a form.  Right now I am using sessions to pass these variables. E.g. when a file is  uploaded i am using a hidden field to change the variable to "upload" then when the upload.php redirects back to the index it shows the output of this (instead of the output if would have if it was entered by the form) and the same for the form.  This all works fine right now, however, because I am also using the session for a login, the variables are unset after the browser is closed, so that my index displays a blank page. Any suggestions?

You need to set up a default value when the page is visited and there is no session variable set.

But there are two values that the variable can be on the index page, so I don't want it to be set to something when the page is refreshed and then one will display even if its not the correct one?
