can't get session message to display

[corbeeresearch]

Hi,

 

I'm having a problem with contact form not display message log. It does successfully send, but fails to get the session variables. Where did I go wrong?

 

This is my contact form code

<?php
include('includes/ui.php');
head('Contact Us','contactpage.css');
?>
<script src="js/SpryValidationTextField.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="js/SpryValidationTextField.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script src="js/SpryValidationTextarea.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="js/SpryValidationTextarea.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<div class="section">
         	<h3>Contact Us</h3>            
            <div class="scontent">
<?php
/* -------------------------------------------------
	Displays success/error message 
--------------------------------------------------*/
if ($_SESSION['message']!='') {
?>
<div id="log"><?php echo $_SESSION['message']; ?></div>
<?php unset($_SESSION['message']) ?>

<?php } ?>


<?php
/* -------------------------------------------------
	Contact Form
--------------------------------------------------*/
?>
            <p><em>If you have any questions, feel free to fill the form below:</em></p>
            <form action="sendmail.php" method="post">
            	<label>Name:</label>
<span id="sprytextfield1">
            	<input type="text" class="istext" name="name"/>
            	<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">This field is required.</span></span>
        <label>Email:</label>
        <span id="sprytextfield2">
        <input type="text" class="istext" name="email"/>
        <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">This field is required.</span></span>
  <label>Message</label>
  <span id="sprytextarea1">
  <textarea name="message"></textarea>
<span class="textareaRequiredMsg">This field is required.</span></span><br/>
                </span>
        <label>Enter the code:</label>
	<img src="includes/captcha.php" /><span id="sprytextfield3">
	<input class="input" type="text" name="norobot" />
	<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">This field is required.</span></span><br/>
                
              <input type="submit" class="btn" value="Send"/><span class="tab2em"></span><input type="reset" class="btn" value="Reset"/>
            </form>
            <div id="bible">         
		</div>
            <span class="clear"></span>
            <br class="clear"/>
            </div>            
         </div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var sprytextfield1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield1");
var sprytextfield2 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield2");
var sprytextarea1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextarea("sprytextarea1");
var sprytextfield3 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield3");
//-->
</script>


<?php footer(); ?>  

 

This is my sendmail.php

<?php

session_start();
if (md5($_POST['norobot']) == $_SESSION['randomnr2'])	{ 
	// here you  place code to be executed if the captcha test passes
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$name = filter_var($name, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
$email = filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
$message = filter_var($message, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

require_once('includes/class.phpmailer.php');

$mail             = new PHPMailer();

$body             = "Someone with the ".$name." and an email address of ".$email." send you the ff message: ".$message;

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host       = "mail.example.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host       = "mail.example.com"; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = 26;                    // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "example@example.com"; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password   = "thepassword";        // SMTP account password

$mail->SetFrom('example@example.com', 'Me');

$mail->Subject    = "Message sent from site contact form";

$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$address = "tosomeone@yahoo.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "Richard");


if(!$mail->Send()) 
{
  $_SESSION['message'] = "Failed sending, please try again later";	  
} else 
{
  $_SESSION['message'] = "Message sent";
}
}	
else 
{  
	// here you  place code to be executed if the captcha test fails	
	$_SESSION['message'] = "Invalid code";
}
header('Location: http://example.com');

?>

 

Thanks in advance

I don't see session_start in your contact form code.

Did you remember to use session_start();?

 

Edit: Beaten to the punch.
