I know this question has come up several times.
I read all of the posts and tried them but couldn't get them to work.
I simply want to pass the session data from page 1
to page 2
for a radio button. It won't work no matter what I've tried.
Page 1
<form action="step-2.php" method="post">
<div class="row">
<div class="card-left"><img src="card.png" /><br /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-one" /></div>
<div class="card-center"><img src="card.png" /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-two" /></div>
<div class="card-right"><img src="card.png" /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-three" /></div>
<div class="card-right"><img src="card.png" /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-four" /></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="card-left"><img src="card.png" /><br /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-five" /></div>
<div class="card-center"><img src="card.png" /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-six" /></div>
<div class="card-right"><img src="card.png" /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-seven" /></div>
<div class="card-right"><img src="card.png" /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-eight" /></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="card-left"><img src="card.png" /><br /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-nine" /></div>
<div class="card-center"><img src="card.png" /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-ten" /></div>
<div class="card-right"><img src="card.png" /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-eleven" /></div>
<div class="card-right"><img src="card.png" /><input type="radio" name="card" value="card-twelve" /></div>
</div>
<div id="messages">
<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
if(isset($_POST["card"])) {
session_start();
$_SESSION["card"] == $_POST["card"];
}
if(!isset($_POST["card"])) {
echo '<span style=\"color: red;\">' . "Please choose a card before proceeding" . '</p>';
} else {
}
} else { }
?>
<input type="submit" name="to-step-2" value="Next" id="submit" /></div>
</form>
Page 2 (won't receive and display the data)
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION["card"])) {
$card = $_SESSION["card"];
echo $card;
} else {
echo "<h2>No Card Selected</h2>";
echo "You didn't select a card. Please go back and select one <a href=\"index.php \">Here</a>";
}
?>
I'm just trying to test this in this state so that I can make sure that the data is being passed and then I will work with the data, but right now it doesn't look like the data is being passed. It instead triggers the default "You didn't select a card" message that I have set up.
At the top of page 2, you need to add session_start();
to resume your session.
