sessions and refresh page

[KryptoS]

Hey,

I have 2 buttons on my page. When I hit the first button my session gets the value '1' and refreshes the page, when I hit the second button my session gets the value '2' and refreshes the page. How can I make this work? I thought of something like this but it doesn't work.

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; name=&quot;toevoegen&quot; onClick=&quot;1();&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;2&quot; name=&quot;toevoegen&quot; onClick=&quot;2();&quot;>

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function 1()
{
<? $_SESSION['action'] = 1; ?>
location.reload()
}

function 2()
{
<? $_SESSION['action'] = 2; ?>
location.reload()
}
</script>


One way or the other the session gets always the value 2.
Can someone help me please? The One And Only KryptoS

That's correct behavior. $_SESSION is only getting set when the script is run on the server. The last statement PHP runs is the one which sets the variable to 2.

You're confusing server-side scripting through PHP with client-side scripting through JavaScript. The two are separate.

If you want session variables to be updated according to input, your page must submit data to a script on your server. ______________________________________________________________________
