Hi Sudhakar,
Your code is okay. Before using session_register function, you have to check the session variable whether it exists already or not. Follow the below code:
In form.php:
if (!session_is_registered("firstnameis")) {
session_register("firstnameis");
}
In Thankyou.php:
if (session_is_registered("firstnameis")) {
Dear <?php echo $_SESSION['firstnameis']; ?> thank you
}
Always checking session variables before echoing is a good programming technique.
Thanks & Regards

Subject: Fwd: Re: passing variables values using POST
Note: forwarded message attached.
thanks for letting me know. i have used session and it
works without adding the variable name and value in
the url.
just wanted to confirm what i am doing is correct. i
have 2 files a) form.php which gathers information
entered in the form and b) thankyou.php which extracts
the value of firstname store in form.php as $fname and
displays this $fname and a thankyou message.
code in form.php
==============================================================================
session_start(); // AS THE VERY FIRST LINE FOLLOWED BY
session_register("firstnameis");
$fname = $_POST["fname"];
$_SESSION['firstnameis'] = $fname; // SOMEWHERE IN
BETWEEN THE CODE
==============================================================================
code in thankyou.php
==============================================================================
session_start(); // AS THE VERY FIRST LINE
Dear <?php echo $_SESSION['firstnameis']; ?> thank you
for registering etc...
==============================================================================
1. do i need to destroy or unregister the session
variable in thankyou.php and if so can i write that
unregister statement after displaying <?php echo
$_SESSION['firstnameis']; ?>
2. i noticed that you mentioned
$_SESSION['firstnameis'] = $fname; just before
header(Location: thankyou.php); however i have used
$_SESSION['firstnameis'] = $fname; in between the code
even before header(Location: thankyou.php); and it
works.
please advice.
thanks.

Hi Madhu,
Sudhakar clearly mentioned not to use any form and javascript for posting. If you use form post then you have to submit the same form using javascript. But he does not want javascript code. Better he can use session variables for storing the firstname.

}
how can i send the value of $firstname using POST instead of GET as
the value is presently appearing in the address bar. ideally i would
like using POST.
NOTE = please suggest techniques that does NOT involve javascript in
order to pass $firstname using POST method, as i have done the
entire validations using php and i have assumed that user has
javascript turned off.
please advice.
thanks.
