session variables don't send using UE

The only way I can get the session variables to send to formresults.php is delete the UE code, put $session info on second page, and set the form action to formresults.php

Have tried multiple workarounds and configurations; nothing works.

Files attached.

few things to try for debugging this:

1) move the error reporting code:

<?php 
error_reporting(E_ALL); 
ini_set('display_errors','on'); 
?>

to line 1 and have it on both pages.



2) change the session code so it only triggers when the form posts:

<?php
if(!session_id()) session_start();
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$_SESSION['customeremail']=$_POST['customeremail']; 
$_SESSION['customeraddress']=$_POST['customeraddress']; 
$_SESSION['Income']=$_POST['Income']; 
$_SESSION['Age']=$_POST['Age']; 
$_SESSION['NWDallas']=$_POST['NWDallas']; 
$_SESSION['NDallas']=$_POST['NDallas']; 
$_SESSION['SDallas']=$_POST['SDallas']; 
$_SESSION['Listmenustate']=$_POST['Listmenustate']; 
}
?>

3) on the form results page, add var_dump after the body tag:
<?php var_dump($_SESSION); ?>

You reported this in another thread:
showthread.php?t=15531

I had you download a copy of the session test file, can you send the link to that file and your form page so I can test it?

These pages have the debugging code with the session test file. Does the dump eliminate the variables? I need to use them on other pages as well.

Files attached.

no, the dump will not clear the sessions.

What is the results of these tests, can you post a link where I can see this in the browser?

nerdyrat.com
nerdyrat.com/sessionTest.php
nerdyrat.com/form.php

OK, I tested the form, and got the following error:

Notice: Undefined index: NDallas in /var/www/vhosts/nerdyrat.com/httpdocs/form.php on line 13

Notice: Undefined index: SDallas in /var/www/vhosts/nerdyrat.com/httpdocs/form.php on line 14

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vhosts/nerdyrat.com/httpdocs/form.php:13) in /var/www/vhosts/nerdyrat.com/httpdocs/form.php on line 28


this is because i didn't check either the NDallas or SDalas check boxes

when setting the session, you should use isset() to see if the form elements are set or not:
for example:

$_SESSION['NDallas']=isset($_POST['NDallas'])?$_POST['NDallas']:"";

i then when to the results page, and saw the information I had entered was displayed meaning the sessions are being set.


the vardump code at the bottom of the page should be:

<?php var_dump($_SESSION); ?>

but it seams to be working in my test.

The sessions are setting ok, but form page doesn't redirect to results page. On submit, the form page shows up again with the following messages.

Also, when manually going to formresults.php the following error shows up under the form, though the session info is there. When I submit the formresults.php page to the checkout.php page, the session info is there as well, with no errors.

array(8) { ["customeremail"]=> string(6) "acbvav" ["customeraddress"]=> string(6) "acbadb" ["Income"]=> string(8) "$100,000" ["Age"]=> string(8) "Under 50" ["NWDallas"]=> string(3) "Yes" ["NDallas"]=> string(0) "" ["SDallas"]=> string(0) "" ["Listmenustate"]=> string(10) "Fort Worth" }

those errors will occur if you don't enter a valid email address in the email address form element.



This at the bottom of the results page:
array(8) { ["customeremail"]=> string(6) "acbvav" ["customeraddress"]=> string(6) "acbadb" ["Income"]=> string(8) "$100,000" ["Age"]=> string(8) "Under 50" ["NWDallas"]=> string(3) "Yes" ["NDallas"]=> string(0) "" ["SDallas"]=> string(0) "" ["Listmenustate"]=> string(10) "Fort Worth" }

is not an error, it is the var_dump of the session.

you can remove this, I only had you add it for debugging.

Typed in valid entries for each form selection and got the following errors (see image) on results page. Didn't bother deleting 'dump' yet.

I have created a support ticket so we can look into this issue further.
