PHP - Submit A Form And Unset A Session Variable On Other Page
Hi everyone, as the title stated, I would like to know how I could submit a form in one page(cart) and unset a session variable on other page.
Right now my form is setting a variable within the page back to 0, however I would like the form to unset the session variable from other page as well.
The issue with my code is that every time I attempt to clear out all items, my code can empty out the cart. But whenever I close and reopen the cart, the same content will show up again. So I need to unset the session variable.
Please let me know what should I do in order to solve the problem and I greatly appreciate your help.
My code is currently looking like this:
cart.php
if(!empty($_GET['aID']))
{
$aID = $_GET['aID'];
echo $aID;
if(isset($_POST['removeAll']))
{
$aID = "0";
}
$cartSQL = "SELECT * from article where aID in ($aID)";
echo "cart sql :$cartSQL";
$cartQuery = mysqli_query($dbc, $cartSQL) or die (mysqli_error($dbc));
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cartQuery, MYSQLI_BOTH))
{
$aTitle[] = $row[ 'name' ];
}
}
<form action = "" method = "POST">
<td style = "width = 200px"><input type="submit" value="Empty cart" name="removeAll"></td>
</form>
And this is the session variable from other page where I would like it to be unset upon submitting the form.
if(!empty($cartSubmit))
$_SESSION["cartSubmit"] = $cartSubmit;
else
$cart = $_SESSION["cartSubmit"];
<a href="javascript:popup('cart.php?aID=<?php if(empty($cartSubmit)) echo "$cart"; else echo "$cartSubmit";?>')">Cart</a>
Similar TutorialsHi All, When a user saves the page, I want to have the page refresh to show the new record and then have a message saying "Success!" or something like that. The only way I know how to do this is to set a session var after the record is created, but I would then need to unset it automatically so it doesn't keep showing. Any suggestions? I am trying to create a page for customers to enter their details. I am using a html form.
When the submit button is pressed the form posts the inputs to the same page, which then checks if the inputs are empty. If they are not then each post variable is allocated a session variable so this info can be accessed late on in the system.
If some of the inputs are empty then the value of the input forms become equal to the session variables that they were just allocated to so that the customer doesn’t have to retype their information.
This is where the problem occurs. When I load the page each input box has a slash inside it and when the submit button is pressed a mother slash is added.
My code is below:
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['NextPage'])){
if (!empty($_POST['CName'])){
$_SESSION["CName"] = $_POST['CName'];
if (!empty($_POST['CStreet'])){
$_SESSION["CStreet"] = $_POST['CStreet'];
if (!empty($_POST['CTown'])){
$_SESSION["CTown"] = $_POST['CTown'];
if ($_POST['Counties'] != "-"){
$_SESSION["CCounty"] = $_POST['Counties'];
if (!empty($_POST['CPostcode'])){
$_SESSION["CPostcode"] = $_POST['CPostcode'];
if (!empty($_POST['CEmail'])){
$_SESSION["CEmail"] = $_POST['CEmail'];
if (!empty($_POST['CNumb'])){
$_SESSION["CNumb"] = $_POST['CNumb'];
$NotEmpty = true;
}else{
$ErrorMsg = "Number is empty. </br>";
}
}else{
$ErrorMsg = "Email is empty. </br>";
}
}else{
$ErrorMsg = "Postcode is empty. </br>";
}
}else{
$ErrorMsg = "County is empty. </br>";
}
}else{
$ErrorMsg = "Town is empty. </br>";
}
}else{
$ErrorMsg = "Street is empty. </br>";
}
}else{
$ErrorMsg = "Name is empty. </br>";
}
}
$content = ' <h3 id="CTitle"> Customer Details </h3>
<p><i>'.$ErrorMsg.'</i></p>
<form action=" " method="POST" name="CDetails" id="CDetails">
Name: * <input type="text" name="CName" size="30" value='.$_SESSION["CName"].'/></br>
First line of your address: * <input type="text" name="CStreet" size="40" value='.$_SESSION["CStreet”];.’/></br>
Town: * <input type="text" name="CTown" size="25" value='.$_SESSION["CTown"].'/></br>
Postcode: * <input type="text" name="CPostcode" size="11" value=‘.$_SESSION["CPostcode"].'/></br>
Email address: * <input type="text" name="CEmail" size ="35" value='.$_SESSION["CEmail”];.’/></br>
Phone Number: * <input type="text" name="CNumb" value='.$_SESSION["CNumb"].'/></br>

Afternoon, I've hit a brick wall, and I'd like someone to point out where I'm going wrong here as I can't for the life of me think of whats amiss. As it is, I'm trying to set a message to the user in session form, so the function is called passing the error ID. As you can see below, it finds it and assigns it to the private variable within the class. Code: [Select] <?php public function set($name){ // Check if the message is available... if(array_key_exists($name, $this->errors)){ // Set it. $_SESSION['cM'] = $this->errors[$name][0]; } else { $_SESSION['cM'] = 'TEST'; } } ?> To then return the message, the function is simply called using the below function which should return the error? Now, when I don't unset the session in anyway shape or form the message is displayed but when I do unset it, no message appears. I was under the impression that as I had already assigned the contents of the session to the $message variable that the session itself was then useless and as such I could then unset it for later use. But apparently not? Code: [Select] <?php public function get(){ // Is something set? if(isset($_SESSION['cM'])){ // Yes, into a variable! $message = $_SESSION['cM']; // Unset the session for later use. //unset($GLOBALS['cM']); - Doesnt make any difference. //$_SESSION['cM'] = false; - Doesnt make any difference. //unset($_SESSION['cM']); - Doesnt make any difference. // Return the message. $f = "<p style=\"color:green\">"; $f.= $message; $f.= "</p>"; return $f; } // No, Return false then to stop an error appearing. return false; } ?> As you can see I have tried unsetting the global variable, just session itself and clearing the session but to no avail. Any ideas? I have one entity: $_SESSION['order']['content']['lol'] I then unset this entity: unset($_SESSION['order']['content']['lol']); I then try to unset the following as it is now empty (because I removed "lol"), buts its not working: if (empty($_SESSION['order']['content'])) { unset($_SESSION['order']['content']); } Does anyone know why and how I can go about getting it to unset? Code: [Select] $itemlisted = $_POST['itemlisted']; if ($itemlisted) { unset($_SESSION['items'][$itemlisted]); } it should work i don't get it. $itemlisted is 1... so it should delete [1] in the array. any idea why it's not working? on page load pop up comes for selecting tv or movies (session is started in conn.php) if tv is selected session['select'] = 'tv_sotime' same for movies Now i want to change the selection I kept a link 'CHANGE' for selection i will unset session['select'] by passing variable on session.php but when i load /entertainment.php the pop up should not come Thank U... index.php Code: [Select] <? include("conn.php"); //require('_drawrating.php'); $pagename="Entertainment"; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title><?=$settings->ScriptName?> | <?=$pagename?></title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="images/png" href="images/favicon.png" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="images/png" href="images/favicon.gif" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="all" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/cnelstyle.css" type="text/css" media="all" /> <link media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="css/colorbox.css" /> <script src="js/jquerylatestmin.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="js/jquery.colorbox-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $(window).bind('load', function(e) { $.colorbox({ 'width' : 300, 'height' : 130, 'transitionIn' : 'none', 'transitionOut' : 'elastic', 'centerOnScroll' : 'true', 'overlayOpacity' : 0.2, 'overlayColor' : '#000', 'modal' : 'true', href:"select.php"}); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <? //require_once("fb.php")?> <div id="wrap"> <? include('header.php'); include("session.php"); ?> <div class="wraper"> <div class="middle"> <div class="ad"><?=stripslashes($adsense->Ads7)?></div> </div> <div class="clr"></div> </div> </div> <div class="footer"> <div class="wraper"> <?php include("footer.php"); ?> </div> </div> </body> </html> tv_sotime.php Code: [Select] <?php include("conn.php"); $pagename="TV SHOWTIME"; $_SESSION['select'] = 'tv_sotime'; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title> <?=$settings->ScriptName?> | <?=$pagename?> </title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="images/png" href="images/favicon.png" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="images/png" href="images/favicon.gif" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/cnelstyle.css" type="text/css" media="all" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="all" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="jscss/main.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="jscss/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jscss/main.js"></script> </head> <body> <? //include("customjqmodalbox.php"); require_once("fb.php"); ?> <div id="wrap"> <? include('header.php')?> <div class="wraper"> <div class="middle"> <div class="middle_content"><a href="session.php?curr=c">Change</a></div> <div id="page"> <ul class="mytabs" id="tabs"> <li class="title"> <h2><strong>What's on Today?</strong></h2> <? //date('l M d Y')?> </li> <!-- <li class="todaydate"> <h2></h2> </li>--> <li class="current"><a href="tab-1.html">Movies</a></li> <li><a href="tab-2.html">Reality</a></li> <li><a href="tab-3.html">Sports</a></li> </ul> <div class="mytabs-container" id="tabs-container"> Loading... </div> </div> <!-- page --> <div class="ad"> <?=stripslashes($adsense->Ads7)?> </div> <div class="ss"> <h3 id="cat_head">Categories</h3> <ul> <li><a href="#">Drama</a></li> <li><a href="#">TV Programs</a></li> <li><a href="#">Special Programs for special Day</a></li> </ul> <img src="images/cineaxis.png" alt="" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clr"></div> </div> </div> <!-- warp --> <!--<div class="fb-like-box" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/CineAxis" data-width="198" data-height="274" data-show-faces="true" data-border-color="#E8E8E8" data-stream="false" data-header="false"> </div>--> <div class="footer"> <div class="wraper"> <?php include("footer.php"); ?> </div> </div> </body> </html> Code: [Select] <? include("conn.php"); //session_start(); if(isset($_GET['curr']) == 'c') { unset($_SESSION['select']); //session_destroy(); header("Location:index.php"); } if(isset($_SESSION['select'])) { if($_SESSION['select'] == 'tv_sotime') { $page = 'tv_sotime.php'; header("Location:$page"); } if($_SESSION['select'] == 'movie_sotime') { $page2 = 'movie_sotime.php'; header("Location:$page2"); } } ?> Some code from my pages ,

why ?
Code: [Select] $age = 18; //$age =___; //not working say error. unset($age); //working whats wrong? thanks Hi - I have a POST variable which contains a bunch of products with their codes and prices etc. However if the customer wants to delete one of those products it has to be removed from the POST before being processed. I have read the manual on unset which appears to work well when you know the key relating to the value, but if you take a look at the array ( below ) you can see that it is a multi- dimensional array where the number of potential entries not knowable in advance. My HTML checkbox for delete has a value of prodid. The answer is probably obvious but so far this student of PHP hasn't found it - MANY thanks for your advice ! Code: [Select] Array ( [quantity] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 1 [2] => 1 [3] => 1 ) [prodid] => Array ( [0] => 17 [1] => 28 [2] => 27 [3] => 25 ) [name] => Array ( [0] => Ribs Large pack 20 pieces [1] => 25 Piece Bag [2] => Sirloin Steak [3] => 50 piece bag of Scalops ) [orderid] => Array ( [0] => JAC0398 [1] => JAC2920 [2] => JAC2920 [3] => JAC2920 ) [pricelb] => Array ( [0] => 5.00 [1] => [2] => [3] => ) [submit] => Update and Submit to Picking >> ) i'm creating a page counter which updates a value in a database each time the page is loaded. I'm trying to make it so that it checks to see if a session has been set, if not, it updates the database, and then sets the session. This way it wont update every time someone refreshes the page. $id=$_GET['id']; if(!isset($_SESSION[$id])){ $_SESSION[$id]= $id; $views = $row['views'] + 1; $update_views=mysql_query("UPDATE topic SET views='".$views."' WHERE topic_id='".$id."'") i want to set the session variable as that of the page id ($id) The problem is that it keeps updating the database everytime the page is reloaded. I'm not sure if i'm setting the session variable correctly. Any ideas would be great Thanks I'd describe myself as a "basic" php programmer....
I'm trying to build my first multi-page forms.
The first page is calculator_q1.php
No session variables are needed here, I have omitted a few options, the code looks like this
<form id="page1" method="post" action="calculator_q2.php"> <h1>1. Which best describes the primary and secondary sports combination that will be played on your pitch?</h1> <table> <tr><td>Rugby only</td><td><input type="radio" name="1_primary_secondary_combo" value="Rugby only"></td></tr> <tr><td>Rugby/Soccer</td><td><input type="radio" name="1_primary_secondary_combo" value="Rugby Soccer"></td></tr> <tr><td>Soccer/Hockey</td><td><input type="radio" name="1_primary_secondary_combo" value="Soccer Hockey"></td></tr> </table> <input class="blue" type="submit" value="Next"> </form>The 2nd page is calculator_q2.php. This has some php to start the session, copy the result of form 1 to a session var, I do a debug echo and the variable is printed correctly so I think have captured it correctly. In extract, I do this:
<?php
//Start the session
session_start();
//Store our posted values in the session variables
$_SESSION['1_primary_secondary_combo'] = $_POST['1_primary_secondary_combo'];
?>
<?php
$debug=True;
if ($debug) {
echo ("Debug: session for q1 = ".$_SESSION['1_primary_secondary_combo']);
}
?>
<form id="page2" method="post" action="calculator_q3.php">
<h1>2. Please choose a preferred surface</h1>
<table>
<tr><td>3G Rubber Crumb Filled Turf</td><td><input type="radio" name="2_preferred_surface" value="3G Rubber Crumb Filled Turf "></td></tr>
<tr><td>Sand Filled Turf</td><td><input type="radio" name="2_preferred_surface" value="Sand Filled Turf"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Sand Dressed Turf or<br>a Water Based Surface</td><td><input type="radio" name="2_preferred_surface" value="Sand Dressed Turf or a Water Based Surface"></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<script>
function submitForm(action){
document.getElementById('page2').action = action;
document.getElementById('page2').submit();
}
</script>
<input class="blue" type="button" onclick="submitForm('/calculator_q1.php')" value="Previous" />
<input class="blue" type="button" onclick="submitForm('/calculator_q3.php')" value="Next" />
</form>
So far so good, but when I introduce page 3 (calculator_q3.php) then it prints the previous page's (from page 2) variable but can't find the session variable from question 1. This is from calculator_q3.php:
<?php
//Start the session
session_start();
//Store our posted values in the session variables
$_SESSION['2_preferred_surface'] = $_POST['2_preferred_surface'];
?>
<?php
$debug=True;
if ($debug) {
echo ("Debug: session for q1 = ".$_SESSION['1_primary_secondary_combo']);
echo ("<br>Debug: session for q2 = ".$_SESSION['2_preferred_surface']);
}
?>
<form id="page3" method="post" action="calculator_q4.php">
<h1>3. Please choose one watering option</h1>
<table>
<tr><td>With a Rain Gun System</td><td><input type="radio" name="3_watering_option" value="With a Rain Gun System"></td></tr>
<tr><td>With a Rain gun System + Water Borehole</td><td><input type="radio" name="3_watering_option" value="With a Rain gun System + Water Borehole"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Not Required</td><td><input type="radio" name="3_watering_option" value="Not Required"></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<script>
function submitForm(action){
document.getElementById('page3').action = action;
document.getElementById('page3').submit();
}
</script>
<input class="blue" type="button" onclick="submitForm('/calculator_q2.php')" value="Previous" />
<input class="blue" type="button" onclick="submitForm('/calculator_q4.php')" value="Next" />
</form>
To see this in action see: http://www.sports.ha...lculator_q1.php
Any insights would be appreciated. Many thanks.
This is more of a technical question that i could not find the answer to pn the php.net manual pages. take the folowing example code: foreach ($array as $key => $value){ $tempvariable = some_property_of($value); } unset($tempvariable); is that unset statement needed? Does PHP automatically destroy the variables once the foreach loop is left? Hello all, I'm new to PHP and new to this forum (although I have benefitted from your help already -cheers!). However, this time I cannot find the answer I need/recognise/understand.. I have a form and want to conduct tests on each field returning an error message as a session variable if the test fails. The test will be different for some of the fields, and the error message is specific to each field. If there is an error in any one of the fields I want to be redirected to a failure page where all of the error messages are displayed, otherwise I am sent on to another page. I have already written and tested a function to sanitise the incoming form data, so that's not a problem - it's just how to loop through and test. I can guess that there are many ways to do this but I need to understand why one option is better than another, and follow the syntax used (it's all part of my steep learning curve) The approach I have thought to use is to create an array holding the field name, the test and the message, then loop through using foreach, applying the array values into the test and creating the error message....but it's not working for me. The other method is to declare a variable $Stop='No' and if the loop identifies an error, part of the output is to change this to 'yes' and through that redirect to the error page. I'd really welcome your advice and tuition....cheers.. my code so far is... Code: [Select] $Stop='No'; $StaffPassCheck=sanitisealphanum($_POST['PasswordCheck']); $Errors[0]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['FirstName']); $Errors[0]['message']='Please re-enter your name'; $Errors[0]['test']=($StaffFname=""); $Errors[1]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Surname']); $Errors[1]['message']='Please re-enter your surname'; $Errors[1]['test']=($StaffSname=""); $Errors[2]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Post']); $Errors[2]['message']='You must select an option'; $Errors[2]['test']=($StaffPost="Select Value"); $Errors[3]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Username']); $Errors[3]['message']='You must select an option'; $Errors[3]['test']=($StaffUser=""); $Errors[4]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Password']); $Errors[4]['message']='Please re-enter your password'; $Errors[4]['test']=($StaffPass=""); $Errors[5]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['PasswordCheck']); $Errors[5]['message']='Sorry, your passwords do not match'; $Errors[5]['test']=($StaffPass===$StaffPassCheck); foreach ($Errors as $key => $Value){ if ( $Errors['test']=true ){ $Stop='Yes'; return $_SESSION[$key]=$Value['message']; } } if ($Stop='Yes'){ header('Location.test.php'); die(); }else{ header('Location.indexp.php'); } I have 3 php's home.php createStep1.php createCheckPass.php createStep2.php home.php unsets some $_SESSION variables if they still exist from previous pages: Code: [Select] if(!empty($_SESSION['ame'])) { unset($_SESSION['ame']); } if(!empty($_SESSION['ject'])) { unset($_SESSION['ject']); } if(!empty($_SESSION['ports'])) { unset($_SESSION['ports']); } if(!empty($_SESSION['session_age_range'])) { unset($_SESSION['range']); } createCheckPass.php gets some posted information from createStep1.php, checks everything is ok and if so sets the above session variables createStep2.php gets the session data set by createCheckPass.php and then gets to work with the user inputting data into the db. The odd problem If createCheckPass.php finds any problems with the posted data it redirects the user back to createStep1.php with the sessions set, createStep1.php then displays the errors with the info set in the sessions to the user and everything works ok. If however the user sends the form from createStep1.php with no problems and the createCheckPass.php passes the user onto createStep2.php, something strange happens... The sessions set by the createCheckPass.php are only ever unset at the home.php, yet somehow createStep2.php loses the sessions and therefore doesn't run. What is even stranger is if i comment out the unsetting of the sessions from the home.php, everything works fine and none of the sessions are lost. Really really odd Summary: createStep2.php is reading the unset session lines of code from home.php when never asked to. Has anyone ever come across anything like this before? hi i hv a form to submit on this url http://localhost/site/index.php?action=search and in my html <form method="GET" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" name="searchForm"> // my code </form> // i also tried //http://localhost/site/index.php?action=search& // but did not helped now problem is i wants to go that URL so after submit it should look a like this as i am loading search page with action. http://localhost/site/index.php?action=search&searchstring=word but it keeps me redirecting to http://localhost/site/index.php?searchstring=word how can i make it work so it will goto this URL http://localhost/site/index.php?action=search&searchstring=word Thanks for help. I have the website he http://bossexclusive.com/babyauction/index.php , and http://bossexclusive.com/babyauction/thanks.php . When you press submit on the index.php, it takes you to thanks.php. then, after 5s, it takes you back to index.php. My question is: How could I make it so when I press submit, the box submits the form, but instead of redirecting to thanks.php, it displays the same thank you message on the side, but stays on index.php? If that didn't make sense, let me know. My html and php are below (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"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Baby Auction | Discounted Premium Brand Baby Products</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"/> </head> <body> <div id="main"> <div id="contact"> <h1>Sign up to recieve Auction notifications</h1> <form action="emailer.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="yourname@email.com" /> <input type="image" name="submit" src="images/submit.jpg" width="146px" height="20px" value="Submit"> </form> </div> </div> <div class="copyright"> <?php include 'footer.php'; ?> </div> </body> </html> and emailer.php: Code: [Select] <?php $email = trim(strip_tags($_POST['email'])); $subject = "Contact form submitted!"; $to = 'BlankingOutMyEmail@gmail.com'; $body = <<<HTML $message HTML; $headers = "From: $email\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n"; mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); header('Location: thanks.php'); ?> I have two pages. one is insert_events.php and the other is veiw_events. In insert_events i have a form which have a submit button. I want when i click on the submit button, it redirects me to the view_events.php page showing the events. Any idea about this problem will be appreciated. Thanks Hi All, Is there any way that PHP can detect if a page has been refreshed? Basically I have a form that when submitted, inserts a row in to a database, but I am finding that when I refresh the page, it repeats the insert statement. Any ideas? Thanks Matt This is a multi page registration form. I want to check the user input from form1.php with preg_match in form2.php then return the users details back into form1 with error messages(e.g $errname) so the user doesn't need to re enter the information. Neither the error messages or the session variables are shown in form1.php's form. I've echoed out the session variables found that the value makes it to form 2. But the variables are empty when it goes back to form 1. form1.php <html> <head> <title>Register</title> <style type="text/css"> td { vertical-align: top; } .errText { font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px;

I think I should buy a professional book, instead of my beginner one. Hi Guys, I am fairly new to PHP, and I recently changed my whole site to use PHP sessions, which worked fine. Then I added PHP parts in my pages that display different menu choices depending on if a PHP session exists. This also works fine, until I found that any HTML/PHP pages that have form/submits no longer work, and I get kicked back to the index.php After slow backtracking, I removed new parts, and found the forms started working again if I removed the PHP part that chooses which JavaScript file to reference, as follows from contact.php <?php if (isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'])){ echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"menu_horz.js\"></script>"; } else {echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"log_menu_horz.js\"></script>"; } ?> I tried changing the echo ".." to use single quotes ' ' instead, but then it doesn't work at all then with a form or no form on the page. I assume I am doing something wrong, but I can't find any resources that give me a definitive way of referencing Javascript files. What freaked me out was only the ones with forms were an issue. I am using <?php session_start(); ?> at the beginning of every page (before any output). Other PHP code on the page is working fine. Only the above part seems to be the problem, and works too, as long as I don't submit a form. - Could it be more weirder :-) - I tried also to find a workaround, but it would mean having PHP inside my JavaScript file, but I am not sure it would work, since JS is client side, and PHP server... Essentially, I just want to run certain JS menus depending if the person is logged in or not. - Example contact.php attached Any ideas of what the problem might be with the code above? Will be grateful for any help you can give. Regards D |
