i am experiencing strange behaviour problems with PHP when forms are submitted as GET.. i am using apache 1.3.12 / php4b4(pl1).. for the following examples, the session customer_id is not set.. i have a form which is submitted in the following manner shopping_cart.php?SID=<the sid>&products_id=10&action=add_product everytime this is submitted with cookies disabled, it only goes through the else statement of line 13-15, and gives me a new session id.. if the form is submitted in the following manner (also with cookies disabled) shopping_cart.php?action=add_product&products_id=10&SID=<the sid> it works fine.. the $nonsess_cart is returned properly with an example of 1:1|4:1|2:2 (product id:product qty).. i keep the same session id too (which is meant to be normal ;)) shopping_cart.php: 01: if ($HTTP_GET_VARS["action"]) { 02: if ($HTTP_GET_VARS["action"] == "add_product") { 03: if (session_is_registered("customer_id")) { 04: 05: .. do some stuff.. 06: 07: header("Location: shopping_cart.php?" . SID); 08: } else { 09: if (session_is_registered("nonsess_cart")) { 10: 11: .. do some stuff.. -> basically $nonsess_cart.='|' . $HTTP_GET_VARS["products_id"] . ':1'; 12: 13: } else { 14: $nonsess_cart = $HTTP_GET_VARS["products_id"] . ':1'; 15: } 16: session_register("nonsess_cart"); 17: header("Location: shopping_cart.php?" . SID); 18: } 19: } elseif ($HTT.. line 11 checks to see if the product id exists in the 'exploded' array, and if yes, it increments the product quantity.. if not, it appends <product id>:1 when cookies are enabled, either way the form is submitted it works fine.. is this a problem with the way php handles GET variables? or is there a problem with the above snippet? thanks for your time harald
