PHP sessions problems - php

Question

I'm using sessions to save what ever the user types in the form and what ever they do type will be displayed on the other pages.
It was working perfectly fine but after all the server uploads and such my code has completely done one on me and i'm lost.
Can somebody see if they can spot a mistake? I need fresh eyes.
HTML.
<div id="form"><!--Form Start-->
<form action="home.php" method="post">
<p>Enter Name <input type="text" id="full_name" name="fullName" class="name_input"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
</div><!--Form end-->
PHP.
<?php
session_start(); // declaring the variable
if(isset($_POST['fullName'])){ //setting the variable
if(empty($_POST['fullName'])){ //if empty dont to nothing but my wep page will reload
}else{ //if they have do this
$_SESSION['fullName'] = $_POST['fullName']; //get the session for the name (From the from)
header("Location: home.php"); //then will direct the user to the home page (will also display name on each page)
}}
?>
Session on other pages
<div id="echo"> <!-- div ECHO start -->
<?php
echo $_SESSION['fullName']
?>
</div> <!--div ECHO end -->

Answer 1

$_SESSION['fullName'] = $_POST['fullName'];
session_register(fullName);
replace with this code try it

Answer 2

You'll need to add session_start() on whatever page you are redirecting to that is supposed to display the data.
Also, (I'm assuming you realize) what you posted doesn't have anything that would output the data, like:
<input type="text" name="fullName" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['fullName']; ?>"/>

Answer 3

You need to start session on other page as well and stop the script from setting that session. After header location you need to use exit here.
<?php session_start();?>
<div id="echo"> <!-- div ECHO start -->
<?php
echo $_SESSION['fullName'];
?>
you need use exit after header location :-
header('location: home.php');
exit;

Answer 4

Just change the div id form to other because it has a default and remove the empty function because you add isset functon.
Use this.
<div id="myform"><!--Form Start-->
<form action="home.php" method="post">
<p>Enter Name <input type="text" id="full_name" name="fullName" class="name_input"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
</div><!--Form end-->
PHP.
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['fullName']))
{
$_SESSION['fullName'] = $_POST['fullName']; //get the session for the name (From the from)
header("Location: home.php");
exit();
}
?>
Session on other pages.
<div id="echo"> <!-- div ECHO start -->
<?php
session_start();
print_r($_SESSION);
echo $_SESSION['fullName'];
?>
</div> <!--div ECHO end -->
May be it helpful to you.If any problem then let me know.

Answer 5

You are "posting" the values to home.php, doing that you can't set $_SESSION['fullName'] = $_POST['fullName'] in the origin.
Change
<form action="home.php" method="post">
to
<form action="name_of_the_first_script.php" method="post">
$_POST['fullName'] does not exist before the redirect.
Here is how everything should look like (lest call the page index.php):
<div id="form"><!--Form Start-->
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<p>Enter Name <input type="text" id="full_name" name="fullName" class="name_input"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
</div><!--Form end-->
now after you hit submit the index.php will be reactioned and at this time with the $_POST request meaning that that the condition
if(isset($_POST['fullName'])){
will be true and the PHP code can be executed, setting the $_SESSION variable and redirecting you to home.php where you ca now read the $_SESSION previously set in index.php
Hope this can me more clear now! :)
