PHP - Session Variables Lost When Form Posted

Well i have a session['rmanr'] a have set after a submit containing the date and unique id. I have to be able to do multiple submits on that same form but if they submit multiple times the same rmanr have to be used...   I tried the following:

$date         = date("Y-m-d");
$datestrip    = str_replace("-",  "", $date);
$lastdetid     = $dbh->lastInsertId();
if(!isset($_SESSION['rmamr'])){
            $rmanr                   = $datestrip;
            $rmanr                  .= $lastdetid;
            $_SESSION['rmanr']       = $rmanr;
        } else {
            $rmanr                   = $_SESSION['rmanr'];
        }

    $uprmastmt = $dbh->prepare("UPDATE rma SET r_nr = '$rmanr' WHERE r_id = ?");
    $uprmastmt->bindParam(1, $lastid);
    $uprmastmt->execute();

But i keep getting a new rmanr every time i submit... Could it be that my form submit reset my SESSION?

My form Code: [Select]

<form action="process.php" method="post">
<font face= "calibri" size= "4">

DeleteBidder and newBidder are the only variables working?

When I submit my form the variables are sent to the url in my address bar and not to the php post page (resersend.php).

Here is the pertinent html page code (index.html)...
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

{
if (str=="")
  {
  document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
  return;
  }
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","reserv.php?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
 <form>
<p><font face="arial" size="2" color="#336600">Reservation month:</font>
<select name="months" onchange="showMonth(this.value)">
<option value="" selected="selected">Choose One</option>
<option value="May 2011">May 2011</option>
<option value="June 2011">June 2011</option>

<option value="April 2012">April 2012</option>
</select>
</form></p>

And here is the php code from the page (reserv.php) that works with the above html page...

I am sure this is easy, but any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi,   above is the 3 components that should add form data into MySQL database using PDO.   all it's doing is entering empty values, I'm really not sure why this is?   please could someone help me with pointing me in the right direction, offer hint's making this work         Thanks                     Attached Files  PHPmyadmin.JPG   64.83KB   0 downloads

I have a basicc form that takes users info and when they submit it it show on a new web page in the proper order. I need to know how do I skip a blank field. This form takes a users First, Middle, and Last name but many times they leave the middle name blank so I would want to skip this field from showing up when the form is posted. Here is what I have for the basic php script ..Would like to know how to skip a field if it is left blank on the form.
 
echo $_POST["First"], print "."; ?><?php echo $_POST["Middle"], print "."; ?><?php echo $_POST["Last"], print "."; ?><?php echo $_POST["Persona1"], print ".";<br />

Ok. I have read everything I could find on how to fix this problem...but nothing seems to work. I have some suspect reasons why I think it doesn't work, but I don't know how to fix it. I read the notice about posting "headers already sent" and nothing in there helped me either. I am at my wits end!

I have a form that is contained in a left navigation file that is an "include" file for other pages of the website. Here is the code for the left navigation file:

Code: [Select]
<?php

//process the email

Everything worked fine until I wanted to redirect the user to another page for email confirmation. I need to have the user go to a new page so I can use the Google Analytics tracking code for PPC campaigns. So, here is a sample of how this file is included in other pages of the site. I suspect this is the problem, the other pages contain HTML before this file is included.

Hi.  I'm brand new to this forum, so sorry if I do something wrong...

I'm someone who has thought myself to code in php to add dynamic objects to my basic static websites.  I have had no formal education.  This is not my first project however. 

I'm having problems with session variables working fine up to a point when I call a new file and then all my session variables are lost.  I have tried everything, but cannot keep them alive when I get into this or any other new file.

I display a form, get user data submitted, then display a next form and after the user submits this next form all the session variables are lost.

Anyone have any idea what is killing my session variables?

Thanks in advance.

...anyone know anything about Internet Explorer not printing values from session variables.  It works on Firefox but not on Internet Explorer.  The session variable value works find on the web page but click on Print preview and it dissapears and will not print.

Say I have a dropdown menu consisting of user specific options. I need to be able to set a session variable depending on the option chosen & then re-access it on the following page. Can someone give me a crash course on how to utilize session variables?

they recently reset my website so my php.ini file has been adjusted. One of my sites is no longer passing a session variable to the next page. I am sure its one of the settings being reset. here is the data from my phpinfo file. Anything that looks off to anyone?

Hi

Can some steer me in the right direction.  I am having issues subtotaling 2 session variables:

<td>'.$_SESSION['itemqty'][$key].'*'.$_SESSION['itemprice'][$key].'</td>

Can you advise if I am doing this right?

Cheers

I have some difficulty identifying why the session variables' values have disappeared in my PHP code.  When I try to echo their values, nothing shows up and when I try to compare the values, it does not work.   There are no error messages to indicate something has gone wrong?   Can someone assist?

Hi All! I've written up a script for my website. It\ is basically a virtual job quest. My queries are all correct it just isn't registering the variable for the session. It is $-SESSION[theid']. I want to be bale to use it in my table but I get an error. How do I write this in my SQL query for it to work. The page (when no errors), doesn't show my data. Here is my ocde:

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
include("config536.php");
?>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>

<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])) {

}

if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
echo "<nav>$shownavbar</nav><ubar><img src=/images/layout/player.gif><a href=status.php>$showusername</a>.......................<img src=/images/layout/coin.gif> $scredits</ubar><content><center><font size=6>Basic Quests</font><br><br>";

$startjob = $_POST['submit'];
$jobq = "SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE username='$showusername'";
$job = mysql_query($jobq);
$jobnr = mysql_num_rows($job);

if($jobnr == "0") {
?>
<form action="<?php echo "$PHP_SELF"; ?>" method="POST">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Start Job"></form>
<?php
}
if(isset($startjob)) {
$initemidq = "SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
$initemid = mysql_query($initemidq);
while($ir = mysql_fetch_array($initemid)) {
$ids = $ir['itemid'];
}
mysql_query("INSERT INTO jobs (username, item, time, completed) VALUES ('$showusername', '$ids', 'None', 'No')");
$wegq = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE itemid='$ids'";
$weg = mysql_query($wegq);
while($wg = mysql_fetch_array($weg)) {
$im = $wg['image'];
$nm = $wg['name'];
$id = $wg['itemid'];
}
$_SESSION['theid'] = $id;

echo "<font color=green>Success! You have started this Job!</font><br><br>Please bring me this item: <b>$nm</b><br><br><img src=/images/items/$im><br><br><br>";
echo $_SESSION['theid'];
}

if($jobnr == "1") {

$okgq = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE itemid='$yes'";
$ok = mysql_query($okgq);
while($ya = mysql_fetch_array($ok)) {
$okname = $ya['name'];
$okid = $ya['itemid'];
$okimage = $ya['image'];
}
echo "Where is my <b>$okname</b>?<br><br><img src=/images/items/$okimage><br><br><br>";
echo $_SESSION['theid'];
?>
<form action="<?php echo "$PHP_SELF"; ?>" method="POST">
<input type="submit" name="finish" value="I have the Item"></form>
<?php
}
}

if(isset($finish)) {
$cinq = "SELECT * FROM uitems WHERE theitemid='$_SESSION[theid]'";
$cin = mysql_query($cinq);
$connr = mysql_num_rows($cin);
if($connr != "0") {
echo "<font color=green>Success! You have the item.</font>";
} else {
echo "<font color=red>Error! You do not have my item!</font>";
}

}
?>
. I basically just want to know how I can set this session as a variable. Also..I have a user login on every page and I want to be able to destroy JUST THE "theid" session and NOT the username session. How would I do that too? thanks for the help in advance!

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):

Code: [Select]
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.
