Undefined Index

[anton_1]

want to carry over session to help page? but getting the error undefined index.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

//getting my value from database table and put it into session

$_SESSION["user_firstname"] = $data["Firstname"];

 

 

//decides on where the user gets re-directed to.

if ($_SESSION["user_priority"] == '1')

        {

            header("Location: AdminSection.php");           

        }

        else

        {

header("Location:LoggedIn.php");

}

 

if ($_SESSION["user_times_loggged_in"] == '0')

{

 

header("Location:UsingTheSystem.php");

}

 

 

 

 

//Help page

<?php

 

session_start();

$name = $_SESSION["user_firstname"];

 

echo $name;

?>

 

any idea why its not picking up the session?

 

Thanks

You also need to run session_start() on the original page where you set your session variables.

Try using single quotes for your array indexes:

 

$_SESSION["user_firstname"] = $data["Firstname"];

 

becomes:

 

$_SESSION['user_firstname'] = $data['Firstname'];

What are you getting the indefined index on, user_firstname or user_priority? Both?

 

anyway try,

 

if (isset($_SESSION['user_priority']) &&  ($_SESSION['user_priority'] == '1')) {

header("Location: AdminSection.php"); 

} else ...

iv already got the session variables showing on the logged in page with double quotes but the variables will not show in help page?

 

 

Thanks!

Where are you redirecting to the help page? I can't see that part in your code. I see headers to other pages, but not the help page.

[anton_1]

this is where I re-direct to the help page:

 

      if ($_SESSION["user_times_loggged_in"] == '0')

      {

       

        header("Location:UsingTheSystem.php");

      }

 

thanks!

Are you sure this line is actually populating the session variable:

 

$_SESSION["user_firstname"] = $data["Firstname"];

 

What happens if, right after this line, you do this:

 

echo $_SESSION['user_firstname'];
