Unless I'm mistaken - you are redirecting back to Page 2 upon an
error, right? Well according to the code posted, the second you hit
Page 2 again, you are over-writing whatever is in the f1a session
variable with the contents of the $_POST var, which naturally will not
exist, hence you'll blank it out every single time.
Best regards,
Richard Davey
