sessions

different $names

[maize]

I am using sessions throughout my forms. But when I get to the credit card processing and the online check processing, they use a different value for identifying the customer.

ie...credit card processing uses $customer
online check processing uses $billCustomer

my database identifies the customer as $user

so when I get to that final page when the $user has successfully paid, I get

$customer = 'customer'

and I need the value to my database to be $customer = 'user'

how do I change the value names?

I don't quite follow...

Why can't you simply have $_SESSION["user"] with user and copy that to $_SESSION["customer"] if you need it?

You shouldn't be using regiser_globals on as well, as it is quite unsafe!

I did figure it out. I don't know php, and didn't understand that the value of $anything can be anything!

thanks

Glad to be of no help! :)

I learned php two years ago, so it's not really so hard
