Re: Session
Can you use the PHP tags.
Why
PHP Code:
$_SESSION["name"]="$_POST[name]";
Can you not just do
PHP Code:
$_SESSION["name"] = $_POST["name"];

Sorry Sir, this code is not working. I changed the syntax according to you. But I would not get the result. Please do something.

Re: Session
Your session is probably not being save. Put the following line at the top of the script BEFORE session start. Do you get any errors?
Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Re: Session
You are absolutely correct. I am getting the following errors. The lines in errors are the lines where I stored the values in the $_SESSION. Please help me to cope up the situation.
Notice: Undefined index: name in /home/amitnet/public_html/tarot.php on line 5
Notice: Undefined index: date in /home/amitnet/public_html/tarot.php on line 6
Notice: Undefined index: month in /home/amitnet/public_html/tarot.php on line 7
Notice: Undefined index: year in /home/amitnet/public_html/tarot.php on line 8
Notice: Undefined index: country in /home/amitnet/public_html/tarot.php on line 9
Notice: Undefined index: question in /home/amitnet/public_html/tarot.php on line 10

Re: Session
Which of the two files is tarot.php?
Looks like the POST variables aren't submitted.

Re: Session
After looking at your messy un formatted I realised that you are never actually submitting the form. HTML allows you to define and image/submit button to submit form data. Granted, you have one but it redirects the page using javascript to the next page. Hence the form variable are not submitted.
Code:
<input type="button" value="Continue" name="continue" onclick="Continue()">
function Continue()
{
location.href="session2.php";
}
You need to change type attribute to submit and remove the onclick event handler. The form will then automatically submit when the button is clicked.
Like I have suggested in the past. You should learn HTML.

Re: Session
Please take a look into following two simple most files of php. Still the session is not working. What should I do now ?
[php]
<?php
// file - test.php
session_start();
$_SESSION["name"]=$_POST["name"];
$_SESSION["question"]=$_POST["question"];
// I have got the following error - What does it mean ?
// PHP Notice: Undefined index: name in C:\_PHP\Runes Reading\test.php on line 4
// PHP Notice: Undefined index: question in C:\_PHP\Runes Reading\test.php on line 5
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>SESSION</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" name="f" action="test1.php">
Name <input type="text" name="name" size="20"><br>
Question <input type=text" name="question" size="50"><br>
<input type="submit" name="continue" value="Continue">
</form>
</body>
</html>
[php]
[php]
<?php
// file - test1.php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION["name"];
echo $_SESSION["question"];
?>
[php]

Re: Session
You are submitting the form to the wrong page. You should be submitting it to test.php not test1.php.

Re: Session
I do not understand you visualAd. Why should I need to do this ? I am storing the session values in test.php and after click on submit button I am redirecting it to text1.php and would like to see the session values in test1.php. Can you please tell me ?

Re: Session
Mentally trace through the code step by step from test.php through the post action to test1.php and then you should see the issue.

Re: Session
The action="test1.php" tells me that you are posting the form to test1.php. You do not need to change this value to test.php, but seen as you are picking up the post value in test.php, it might be a good idea  .
You should check that the variables exsit before trying to reference them (this will eliminate the notices). If they do not then it means that the form has not been submitted and you need to dispaly it. If they do exist, save the variables in the session and redirect to test1.php using the HTTP location header:
PHP Code:
/* check the variables have been posted */
if (isset($_POST['name'], $_POST['question'])) {
session_start();
$_SESSION["name"]=$_POST["name"];
$_SESSION["question"]=$_POST["question"];
header('Location: test1.php'); // this is where you redirect
}
?>
Remember that relies on the action attribute of the form being set to test.php and not test1.php.
P.s: to show PHP code use [php]<?php echo("php code here") ?>[/php], if you don't use a closing [/php] tag the code won't get formatted
