Sessions Nightmare

[briesm]

Hey, I have a form which links to another php document so I need to pass along the form data that was entered when I load this other php document so the data is still entered as they continue. I checked my php info file and it did say "sessions support enabled" although autostart was disabled.
Anyway, I've also tried putting session_start in the beggining to no avail...here's the relevant code...
in the main php file i put a <?php
session_start();
?> in the beggining...
I attempt to pass along the data like so:
<?php
$field_territory = ""; //Territory Field, default as blank
if (isset($_SESSION['territory'])) $field_territory = $_SESSION['territory'];
?>
<td width="83%" valign="top"><b><input type=text value="<?php echo $field_territory;?>" name="territory" size="6">

This is also in the other php file that is called upon yet the data that is entered into that text field never carries on...any clue why?

You need to also ensure that

territory

is actually being written to the session:

<?php

session_start();

$field_territory = "";

if (isset($_SESSION['territory'])) {

$field_territory = $_SESSION['territory'];

}

elseif ($_POST['territory']) { //Assuming form uses POST method

$_SESSION['territory'] = $_POST['territory'];

$field_territory = $_SESSION['territory'];

}

?>
