You can test it out for yourself at http://sonesay.trap17.com/application.php

I've been working on this page locally and it seems to be working fine but when I upload it to my trap17 account the post variables dont get saved properly. Fill in some fields and submit it, the form will come up as a empty field yet when you resubmit it without any modifications and the data you entered in orginally will now magically appear, resubmit it again and it will be gone.

This is really annoying as I have no clue why it would be doing this when it seems to work fine locally.

After a V drink and having another go at it I find the solution. Instead of printing back out $_SESSION['var'] into the form fields value, I changed it to $_POST['var'] and it works. I guess I cant rely on the sessions vars being asigned properly even though it works on my localhost. Ah another PHP problem of my programming career out of the way.

Im glad to see you've solved it, one thing to remember is that at T17 POST and GET variables arent assigned to their variable name eg:

On my localhost i have a HTML page that creates the $username variable using the POST method of a form and links to the below code in PHP and it works fine:

CODE
echo "hello $username";


But on T17 the $username variable would be blank here because i need to use the POST array to get it out:

CODE
$username = $_POST['username'];
echo "hello $username";


This would work. I had major headaches because of this fact and then realiser it was a security concern to have it get them automatically from the POST and GET arrays. The setting is in the PHP.ini file in your localhost folders somewhere so you can change it yourself but i dont know the name so maybe someone else can help. Im not sure if this affects your scripts because i couldn't tell which variables were passed from POST and which weren't but its a thing to remember if you have this problem or if anyone else does.
