    <p>user query database and certain table fields must be stored and used in other pages.</p> <p>in page 1 where the querytook place and prescription field is save in variable $_SESSION:</p> <pre><code>$query = " SELECT id, full_name, address, email, telephone, prescription FROM patients WHERE id LIKE '%" . $patient_id . "%'"; $PRESCRIPTION = 'prescription'; $_SESSION['memory1'] = $PRESCRIPTION; </code></pre> <p>in page 2 where variable need reusing, am using this: <code>&lt;?php echo "Our patient's prescription is: ".$_SESSION['memory1'];?&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</code></p> <p>problem is that in page one I re used variable like this:<code>&lt;?php echo htmlentities ($row[$PRESCRIPTION], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?&gt;</code> and it outputs the actual field result correctly. But on page 2 it is 'literally' displaying the characters prescription rather than it's stored content. it's liek in page 2 'prescription' has lost it's meaning.</p> <p>I'm editing the question to confirm that I am using<code>&lt;?php echo "Our patient's prescription is: ".$_SESSION['memory1'];?&gt;</code> this code in page 2. therefore am referring to the stored variable.</p> <p>With regards to the post that replied that I'm being too literal in page 1, then how come it's echoing ok in page one when used $PRESCRIPTION variable? if the literal is stored. in page 1 I would also get the prob of page 2 which returns the word prescription. BUT no, in page 1 I get the actual table field data that I require. in page 2 I just get the prescription word.</p> <p>One last thing, I'm not using session_start, but am instead using ($_SESSION['user']) at start of every doc as I use a require("common.php"); that specifies conn etc.</p> <p>hope this clarifies further.</p> <p>thanks, waiting for your opinions</p>

    1. COAre you doing session_start(); on every single file you use? At the top of the file?

    2. COAre you trying to use the variable `$PRESCRIPTION` on the second page instead of `$_SESSION['memory1']`? Sorry if I'm wrong, your question is just a bit unclear.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
