Cannot find the problem
 
I'm wondering if someone might look over my code and see what i might have done wrong.

I've spent so much time trying to tear this apart...rebuild...move thing around change things I cannot figure this out... I was hoping for some fresh eyes.

I'm trying to have three different select boxes along the top that allow you to choose a school, the month and the year. Then a table is outputted from those results with some javscript that when you check the checkbox, or choose a date, or add a comment that it's automatically added to the database.

I've used this code and when I take out the whole choosing a school and it's just present for one school ...removing the $school =$_POST['school']; and such it works perfectly...but i need to be able to change schools

Everytime you refresh the page the $school seems to be empty so it reverts to the default and doesn't save anything. I've tried everything i can think of and nothing will make the school not empty when you fresh....choosing schools from the drop down it does show the right schools and everything though


Hopefully someone can help...thanks

It would be better to store the data from the school in a session, and then when the page is reloaded it will be remembered. If the session is empty then you'd return to the default. However, if they wanted to change the school then you'd simply update the session variable and continue.

I'm kinda new to sessions...but can you use more than one session...i have a session going already for a log in thing

sketchMedia 06-29-2009 09:17 AM

Well technically you can only have one session per ... well ... session, however a session in PHP is essentially an array so you can have multiple values (session variables):
PHP Code:

$_SESSION['login_thing'] = true;
$_SESSION['something_else'] = 'turtles'
