Problem Storing Values as Session Variables

[rbragg]

I have a submit-type button named "done". I am doing print testing and initially, this is what is printed:

 

Request_Method = GET

Post Data: Array ( )

Sessions: Array ( )

 

If I enter some values and submit, they are populated into the Post array and not the Sessions array. I have maintained the values and when I submit again, it then populates the values into the Sessions array, however, nothing is able to be passed to the next page. Values are able to be passed to the next page via the Post method. I'm bewildered.

 

<?php 
session_start();

echo 'Request_Method = ' .$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']; # print testing
echo "<br>\n" . 'Post Data: '; @print_r($_POST);
echo "<br>\n" . 'Sessions: '; @print_r($_SESSION);
echo "<br>\n"; 

if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && isset($_POST['done']) ) # only if form is submitted
{
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) # put the values into session variables
{
  if ($key != "done") # if user didn't reach this page by submitting
	{
		$_SESSION[$key] = strip_tags($value); # strip tags
	}
}
include 'lots_validate.php'; # and direct to validate
}
?>	

<form name="lots_choose" method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">

I am not sure if we are just missing code, but I do not really see where the done part is set.

 

<input type="hidden" value="ok" name="done" />

 

Probably should be somewhere I hope. If not your data is never entering into that first if statement.

could you post the full code for the form?

Sure guys:

<?php 
session_start();

echo 'Request_Method = ' .$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']; # print testing
echo "<br>\n" . 'Post Data: '; @print_r($_POST);
echo "<br>\n" . 'Sessions: '; @print_r($_SESSION);
echo "<br>\n"; 

if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && isset($_POST['done']) ) # only if form is submitted
{
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) # put the values into session variables
{
  if ($key != "done") # if user didn't reach this page by submitting
	{
		$_SESSION[$key] = strip_tags($value); # strip tags
	}
}
include 'lots_validate.php'; # and direct to validate
}
?>	

<form name="lots_choose" method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">

<div id="middle_title">Lots</div>
<div class="style1" align="right">sign out</div>	
<div align="center">	
<p class="style1">Please choose to open or close the following lots:</p>
<table width="25%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
	<td width="15%" class="style2"><u>Lot</u></td>
	<td width="5%" class="style2"><u>Open</u></td>
	<td width="5%" class="style2"><u>Close</u></td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
	<td class="style1">11</td>
	<td><label for="open11" class="style1">
	<?php
	$sticky11= ( (isset($_SESSION['rb11'])) && ($_SESSION['rb11'] == 'open') )?' checked="checked" ':' '; # maintains entry
	echo '<input type="radio" name="rb11" id="open11" value="open" ' . $sticky11 . '/> '; # displays radiobutton with maintained entry
	?>	
	</label></td>
	<td><label for="close11" class="style1">
	<?php
	$sticky11= ( (isset($_SESSION['rb11'])) && ($_SESSION['rb11'] == 'closed') )?' checked="checked" ':' '; # maintains entry
	echo '<input  type="radio" name="rb11" id="close11" value="closed" ' . $sticky11 . '/> '; # displays radiobutton with maintained entry
	?>
	</label></td>
  </tr>
          <tr>
    <td colspan="3" align="right"><input class="style1" type="submit" name="done" id="done" value="done"></td>
         </tr>

       </table>

</div>	
</form>

In the code you posted I do not see where you have placed the done portion. Maybe try adding that input line I posted above after the <form etc...> call.

ACK! I'm sorry - I ommitted this when I was removing certain includes that were unrelated to my problem. Please read my modified previous post. Thanks.
