Using one of two session variables that are loaded

[Harlequin]

Hi

 

Maybe a strange request and perhaps someone here knows a better way of doing what I want.

 

I have a sign up form on my website that automatically pulls the session var 'name' and places this in the text field for "Reference". That way I know which agent signed up a customer.

 

What I need to do now though is allow this variable to be injected through the url for click through banners.

 

This what I've done (within the header HTML Tags):

 

if ($_GET['Reference'] == '')
{
$_SESSION['Name']        = $my->name;
}
else
{
$_SESSION['Name']        = $_GET['Reference'];
}

 

However, even though this is loaded on EVERY page view the variable is empty if the user clicks another page.

Hi guys

 

I could really do with some help on this. For some reason if I direct someone to a page and inject a reference into the URL it loads into the session var but when they navigate away it's dropped.
