1st Time Trying a Session

Hi,

I am trying to construct one script with a form that registers sessions with a radio button, a check box and a dropdown select.
I have never used a session before and I am just try to echo out the session values. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is what I have so far. I believe this form is ready to add a session?

Code: Select all

<body><form action="session.php" method="post">Enter Your Name<br/><input type="text" name = "name"><br/>Do you have a purpose here?<br/><input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="YES" />YES<br />Your Gender?<br/><input type="radio" name = "gender" value="male">Male<br/><input type="radio" name = "gender" value="female">Female<br/>Select your favorite programming language.<br/><select  name="language" >    <option value="">------------</option>    <option value="php">PHP</option>    <option value="javascript">JavaScript</option></select><input type = "submit" value = "Remember Me!"></form>Register your FULL session!</body></html>

Where in this script are you trying to echo the session values?

Mmm!

You have an HTML form, now you need to process it and write session variables.

Code: Select all

session_start(); //at the top of every script
$_session['gender']=$_POST['gender'];//etc although you should check the data before writing it to a session variable!

You have no session information in that snippet at all. In fact, you don't even have any PHP.
