RE: [PHP] passing mysql_error() out put to a different page?

I think that should work but for some reason nothing is getting written into the session function new_user() { $res = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users WHERE uname='$_POST[uname]' , passwd='$_POST[pass]', firstname='$_POST[firstname]', lastname='$_POST[lastname]', email='$_POST[email]', company='$_POST[company]'") //I get out put here in mysql_error() when uncommented //or die (mysql_error()); //no output from mysql_error() in $_SESSION['mysqlerror'] when i call $_SESSION['mysqlerror'] but does take the redirect or die ($_SESSION['mysqlerror'] = mysql_error() && Header("Location: logerror.php?op=insert_error")); Header("Location: index.php"); } here is the code am calling it with : function insert_error() { echo "<div align=center> <font class=\"option\"> There was an error <br><br>"; echo $_SESSION['mysqlerror']; echo "</font></div>"; } I have tripple checked that both pages have the session_start() on them before any function is started. any idea's? > -----Original Message----- > From: John W.
