Re: Updating a value in a session

What happens is when you use session_start(), all variables in the session become initialized to the values they have previously been given. So when you call session_start the second time, a variable named $value is created with the value it was given earlier. The problem is, it over-writes the variable $value which was submitted in the form. The way to get around this is to rename your form to "form_value". Then right after you register value in your session, insert this: $value = $form_value; It should work without error. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
