Hi,
I am kind of new to php, and have run into a problem. Whenever I try to pass on values from one page to another, using hyperlink, the variables in the session don't carry on. Any ideas as to why? Variables get passed when I use header(location:) code in php.
Can anyone recommend ways that I can pass sensitive information with moderate security from one page to another?
Thank you
P.S.
I included the session_start() on the link page.
Link page
<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<body>
<?php echo "User:". $_SESSION['user']; ?>
<a href="Untitled-1.php">HOME</a>
</body>
</html>Home page
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['user']))
{}
else
{
$_SESSION['user'] = "Anonymous";
//header("location:Untitled-1.php");
}
?>
