note 20040 added to ref.session

If u try to save values from a form in session_vars its important that the name of the session_var is different from the name of the formfield. if its the same, u ll get some *** errors and u spend hours for searchin ur mistake ;-) extremly simplified: ##file1.php: <form .... target="file2.php"> <input .... name="fhugo"> </form> ##file2.php: <? session_start(); session_register('hugo'); # save value of formfield in sessionvar #remove everything from $hugo, only a-z and A-Z is allowed $hugo = ereg_replace("[^a-zA-Z]","",$fhugo); # go to next page header("Location: file3.php"); ?> ## file3.php: <? session_start(); echo "hugo is $hugo"; ?> <a href="file1.php">start again</href> i use this for savin some options for a database search that uses several forms and scripts -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20040 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20040 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20040
