Hello,
this one might be obscure.
I have a user form that accepts user input, evaluates it for errors, and if no errors are found, inserts a record into a mysql database. Everything works perfectly on my testing server (apache) but there is a minor glitch on my remote server.
The problem is:
I use session variables to display a summary of the last successfully inserted record. The php script is sent to itself ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) and an array ($error) is created. If there are any errors an array element is added and the insert record script is ignored.
The insert record code is as follows
The page is based on other session variables so i know that the session is set and working. However the
"$_SESSION['success'] = 1;" is not "working"
later in the script i have a refrence to this value
it is always unset let alone equal to 1(which is, to my understanding, the successful return of the mysql_query function).
Again, this all works perfectly on my testing apache server.
Is there some session varriable setting that might be different on my remote server that i need to adjust for.

The insert record code is as follows
Code:
// wraps entire insert record behavior in a conditional stament based on whether the $error array is empty
if (!$error) {
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "residential")) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO residential (user_id, dt_enter, dt_service, cust_id, service_id, address, city, vendor, `zone`, listers, signs, co_listing, co_value, status, instructions, hanger1, hanger2, hanger3, topper, amount, price) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['user_id'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['dt_enter'], "date"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['dt_service'], "date"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['realtor_id'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['service_id'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['address'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['city'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['vendor'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['zone'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['listers'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['signs'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['co_listing'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['co_value'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['status'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['instructions'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['hanger1'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['hanger2'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['hanger3'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['topper'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['amount'], "double"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['price'], "double"));
mysql_select_db($database_regentAdmin, $regentAdmin);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $regentAdmin) or die(mysql_error());
// assign a session tracking variable when record is inserted
$_SESSION['success'] = $Result1;
$insertGoTo = "comp_submissions.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
}
// if the record has been inserted, clear the POST array
$_POST = array();
}The page is based on other session variables so i know that the session is set and working. However the
"$_SESSION['success'] = 1;" is not "working"
later in the script i have a refrence to this value
Code:
// uses the return value of the insert query function to display a success or error message.
if(isset($_SESSION['success']) && $_SESSION['success'] == 1){
echo "<p class='success'><strong>The following record was sucessfully submitted:</strong></p><p class='success'>REALTOR: ".$_SESSION['rltr_firstName']." ".$_SESSION['rltr_familyName']."<br />ADDRESS: ".$_SESSION['address']."</p>";
}elseif(isset($_SESSION['success']) && $_SESSION['success'] != 1){
echo "<p class='success'>Record submission failed. Please try again.<br />If problem persits, contact the Regent Signs office.</p>";
}Again, this all works perfectly on my testing apache server.
Is there some session varriable setting that might be different on my remote server that i need to adjust for.
