genericnumber1 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 You don't really need those form HTML tags... though they might just be hanging around from your real code... also I'd like to remind you that since you are setting the $_SESSION['CurrencyID'] AFTER the logic... it won't be set until the script is run again...if it's converter.php?currencyID=2 it will still display USD for one run (will be euro if you refreshed the page) since you don't change the value of $_SESSION['CurrencyID'] until after you do your..."echo $CurrencySymbols[$_SESSION["CurrencyID"]].$CurrencyPrice;" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32174-solved-session-syntax/#findComment-149367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
