Re: PHP Session variable

Hi, I have retrieved 4 values from database. Out of which 3 are displayed on the same page and one variable, which is email address, needs to be carried to the next page through a hyper link, the next page is actually a web form. I can do this by either transferring that variable through query string or through session. Now the next page which is a web form is connected to a file that sends email using php email functionality. The problem I am having is just sending this $email variable from page one to the web form. Once it reaches the web form, I need to again pass it to the file that has php email functionality. How to send the variable across these pages. I tried: On Page 1: <? $query="SELECT val1, val2, val3, email FROM table WHERE no= '$no'"; $result=mysql_query($query); $num=mysql_numrows($result); mysql_close(); $1=mysql_result($result,$i,"1"); $2=mysql_result($result,$i,"2"); $3=mysql_result($result,$i,"3"); $email=mysql_result($result,$i,"email"); session_start(); session_register ("tamma"); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS ["tamma"] = $email; ?> On the webform: <? $HTTP_SESSION_VARS ["email"] = $email; ?> on the php email page it's like this: <? $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ; $emailid = $_REQUEST['emailid'] ; $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ; $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; mail( $email, $name, $message, "From: $emailid" ); header( "Location: thankYouContact.php" ); ?> Please advice a work around for this if I am doing it wrong. I know I am.

On the page that generates your webform: <input name="email" type="text" value="<?php $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['tamma'] ?>"> Also, changing to using the $_SESSION superglobal array instead of $HTTP_SESSION_VARS will save you a bit of typing. erik jones <erik@myemma.com> software developer 615-296-0838 emma(r)
