  1. POProblem with PHP sessions
    text
    copied!<p><strong>Update</strong> Solved problem!</p> <p>After examining the code, the freaking problem was I was missing the <code>}else{}</code> after </p> <pre><code>header ('location:referraldone.php?say=blankfields'); } </code></pre> <p>.</p> <hr> <p>I'm really lost at the moment with this session code. I don't understand why the session isn't working. Where did I go wrong? I'm trying to take the data entered in the fields to the next page when someone makes an error not filling an required field. Codes are below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (!$_POST['cname'] | !$_POST['cphone'] | !$_POST['caddress'] | !$_POST['ccity'] | !$_POST['cstate'] | !$_POST['czip'] | !$_POST['cbirthday']) { $rname = $_REQUEST['rname'];
