Passing toggle data with session

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 17.2010

I have a form has a drop down list which consists of 20 options. Each option has a tbody which consists of many fields. Almost all the fields inside the tbodies are repeated in every tbody . What I want to do is when I select an option I want t be able to send its tbody data only with the session.

Problem: when I do submit the form I can’t get the data in the other page

Note:the other tbodies are display:none ( Hidden) unless when its called it will be non-hidden to be sent.the only option works correctly is the last one.

Thanks in advance for your help!

here is the form sample

[code=html]
<?php //error_reporting(0);
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}
session_start();
if(isset($_POST[‘tp_ser’]))
{
$_SESSION[‘name’]=$_POST[‘tp_ser’];
$_SESSION[‘name1’]=$_POST[‘date_ser’];
$_SESSION[‘name2’]=$_POST[‘pck_up’];
$_SESSION[‘name3’]=$_POST[‘drop-off’];
$_SESSION[‘name8’]=$_POST[‘pass_nger’];
// $_SESSION[‘name4’]=$_POST[‘pck_up’];
//$_SESSION[‘name5’]=$_POST[‘time_to’];
$_SESSION[‘name6’]=$_POST[‘time_from’];
$_SESSION[‘name7’]=$_POST[‘airport’];
//echo $_SESSION[‘name’];
//echo $_SESSION[‘name1’];
//echo $_SESSION[‘name2’];
//echo $_SESSION[‘name3’];

}

?>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
// <![CDATA[

txt = obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value;
document.getElementById(id1).style.display = ‘none’;

document.getElementById(id3).style.display = ‘none’;

if ( txt.match(id1) ) {

}
if ( txt.match(id2) ) {

}

@jkingstonAug 18.2010 — print_r is your friend, print_r($_POST); die(); on the page where you are assigning all the session variables and see if you are getting the correct data in. The other thing I would advise is you just do: $_session['search_data'] = $_POST; as it is much neater and you won't miss new variables or have to assign them.

@kingdmAug 19.2010 — Why do you need to call the session_start() twice?

@jkingstonAug 19.2010 — You might want to also consider using css to neaten up this page to make it less to take in when looking at the page.

Usually I try to separate as much as possible in my applications: HTML, CSS, Server side code, javascript. This way you have to comprehend less when debugging.
