How/where is $industry being set? I appears that you are assuming that variables are 'maintained' within a script, they are not. You have to remember that although you are running the same script it is not the same 'instance' of the script as a request/response has occurred. You MUST pass and retrieve SESSION/POST/GET variables if you intend to use them in your script. $_SESSION['x'] = $_POST['x']; $_SESSION['y'] = $_POST['y']; etc etc... > ?> > <?php > //Redirect to results page if user stayed in 5 option > //range > if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { > Header("Location: > http://www.......com/TAresults.php"); > } You do not appear to have set the SESSION variables before redirecting to the next page. > ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 > Transitional//EN" > "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> > <?php //PHP ADODB document - made with PHAkt 2.7.3?> > <html> > <head> > <title>Untitled Document</title> > <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; > charset=iso-8859-1"> > </head> > > <body> > <table width="500" border="1" align="center" > cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"> > <tr> > <td><form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" > action=""> Not sure about this... have you used action="$PHP_SELF" ? > <select name="industry[]" size="10" > multiple="multiple" id="industry[]"> > <option value="1" <?php if (!(strcmp(1, > "Please Select"))) {echo "SELECTED";} > ?>>Accounting</option> > <option value="2" <?php if (!(strcmp(2, > "Please Select"))) {echo "SELECTED";} > ?>>Entertainment</option> > <option value="3" <?php if (!(strcmp(3, > "Please Select"))) {echo "SELECTED";} > ?>>label</option> > <option value="4" <?php if (!(strcmp(4, > "Please Select"))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>Advertising > </option> > <option value="5" <?php if (!(strcmp(5, > "Please Select"))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>Customer > Service</option> > <option value="6" <?php if (!(strcmp(6, > "Please Select"))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>Informatin > Technology</option> > </select> > <input type="submit" name="Submit" > value="Submit"> > </form></td> > </tr> > </table> > </body> > </html> > > TAresults (page2): > > <?php session_start(); > > if ( empty( $_SESSION['l_industry'] ) ) { > $_SESSION['l_industry']=array(); > } > > if ( is_array( $_REQUEST['LurkerIndustry'] ) ) { > $_SESSION['l_industry'] = array_unique( > array_merge( $_SESSION['l_industry'], > $_REQUEST['LurkerIndustry'] ) > ); > } > ?> > <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 > Transitional//EN" > "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> > <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> > <head> > <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; > charset=iso-8859-1" /> > <title>Untitled Document</title> > </head> > > <body> > <?php > echo "The time is"."<br />"; > echo $industry['0']."<br />"; > echo $industry['1']."<br />"; > echo $industry['2']."<br />"; > echo $industry['3']."<br />"; > echo $industry['4']."<br />"; > echo $industry['5']."<br />"; > echo $industry['6']."<br />"; > echo $industry['7']."<br />"; > echo $industry['8']."<br />"; > echo $industry['9']."<br />"; > echo $industry['10']."<br />"; > echo $industry['11']."<br />"; Sorry, I cannot see where $industry is being set.
