SESSION HELP

[sonny]

Hello, I was wondering is someone can help

 

 

 

I am makeing a custom form to addinto OSC,

 

The problem ends up being say i register 1 session variables as so

 

tep_session_register('var1');

$var1="hello";

 

 

--------------

 

Now when i create a aherf link to lead to the next page with

 

tep_href_link

 

I check that the var1 has been registered using

 

if(tep_session_is_registered('var1')) { print "true <br>";} else {print"FALSE <br>";}

 

It returns true

 

--------------------------------

 

now here is the problem

 

 

I have a session ID SET say "fd3d8f2759a65d7b5c2d9daa9197b553"

 

This session holds some previously tep_registered variables

 

-----------------------

 

I am using a select box with 2 choices,

on account of the select value I am calling a tep_redirect() fuction to redirect to a certian page

 

it so happens that when i use the form and redirect to the next page it generates a new session id and i lose the previously registered vars?

 

like so

 

 

<FORM name="form1" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="process">
 
   <option>---- Please Select Option ----</option>
   <option value="own">Own the property Im Listing</option>
   <option value="manage">Manage The property Im Listing</option>
 </select>
 <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go">
  </form>

 

Now I am passing the hidden name and value to ignite the tep_redirect deccision like so

 

$process = false; 

// check is post is set

   if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']       
   == 'process')) 

 {
 $process = true; 
 
 if($HTTP_POST_VARS['choice'] == 'own') 
 
 { 
 
   $url_location="http://localhost/Registration/step4_own.php?".SID;
 
 tep_session_register('customers_choice');
 $customers_choice = $HTTP_POST_VARS['choice'];
   
                tep_redirect("$url_location");
 
// close session (store variables)
  tep_session_close();
 
 
  }
  

// THE SECOND CHOICE
  
     if($HTTP_POST_VARS['choice'] == 'manage') 
 
 { 
 
    $url_location="http://localhost/Registration/step4_manage.php?".SID;
 
                 tep_session_register('customers_choice');
  $customers_choice = $HTTP_POST_VARS['choice'];

                  tep_redirect("$url_location"); }
    // close session (store variables)
    tep_session_close();
	 }

 

 

when i arive to the next page my session id is not

 

fd3d8f2759a65d7b5c2d9daa9197b553

 

any more it changed

 

----------------------

 

 

The only thing i can figure is that say i have some previously registered vars from the last page under

 

fd3d8f2759a65d7b5c2d9daa9197b553

 

now Say i go register a new var does this create a new session id?

 

Anybody have a clue why? or mabee a work around so a can continuly pass the same session ID and register new vars under the same Id?

 

I have already tried passing

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link('Registration/step4_manage.php', '', 'NONSSL'));

 

And it still recreates a new session

 

Please help

 

Thanks

Sonny
