Hi everyone,
I’m a newbie in PHP scripts writing and I met some difficulties in my learning process. One of them is as follows:
I started to write a script which has 2 forms in it. The script is (filename is 2.php):
<div id=“aaa”>
<form id=“aaa” action=“2.php” method=“get”>
<input type=“submit” value=“A” name=“aaa” />
<input type=“submit” value=“B” name=“aaa” />
<input type=“submit” value=“C” name=“aaa” />
</form>
</div>
<?php
session_start ();
$_SESSION[‘one’]=$_GET[‘aaa’];
if (!$_SESSION[‘one’]) {
$bbb = “1D”;
$bbbb = “2D”;
$bbbbb = “3D”;
echo (“The first variable in the session doesn’t have any value!”);
} else {
switch ($_SESSION[‘one’]) {
case ‘A’:
$bbb = “1A”;
$bbbb = “2A”;
$bbbbb = “3A”;
break;
case ‘B’:
$bbb = “1B”;
$bbbb = “2B”;
$bbbbb = “3B”;
break;
case ‘C’:
$bbb = “1C”;
$bbbb = “2C”;
$bbbbb = “3C”;
break;
}
echo (“The value of the first variable in the session is “.$_SESSION[‘one’]);
}
?>
<div id=‘bbb’>
<form id=“bbb” action=“2.php” method=“get”>
<input type=“submit” value=”<?php echo $bbb; ?>” name=“bbb” />
<input type=“submit” value="<?php echo $bbbb; ?>" name=“bbb” />
<input type=“submit” value="<?php echo $bbbbb; ?>" name=“bbb” />
</form>
</div>
<?php
$_SESSION[‘two’]=$_GET[‘bbb’];
if (!$_SESSION[‘two’]) {
echo (“The second variable in the session doesn’t have any value!”);
} else {
echo ("The value of the second variable in the session is ".$_SESSION[‘two’]);
}
?>
What I want to do is to set the values of the inputs in the second form depending of what I’ve chosen in the first form. It works but only the first time I use the script. After that no matter what I’ve chosen in the first form, the second starts with it’s default values. I tried to use sessions but the result is the same.
If anybody could help I would appreciate it.
