textbox value being filled with the php script

[swathip]

Okay the code is,

code in first.php

<?PHP
session_start();
include("script.php");
?>
<form action="script.php" method=POST>
<input type="text" value="<?PHP if(isset($_SESSION['info']['firstname'])){echo $_SESSION['info']['firstname']; }?>" name="firstname"></form>

<input type="text" value="<?PHP if(isset($_SESSION['info']['lastname'])){echo $_SESSION['info']['lastname']; }?>" name="lastname"></form>


i have saved the file in php and the "script.php" page has all the code related to intialising the sessions in php like so

code in script.php

<? $info=new array();
$info['firstname]=$_POST['firstname'];
$info['lastname]=$_POST['lastname'];
session_start();
$_session['info']=$info;?>

<?PHP if(isset($_SESSION['info']['firstname'])){echo $_SESSION['info']['firstname']; }?>"

[red]how do i set this problem[/red]

Hi,

The problems you observe would indicate that the web server does not know how to parse the file correctly.

The most obvious place to start would be to check if your web server is configured to run php? ... and secondly with the file extension and path where the file exists.

I agree with parkers. And also $_session needs to be in caps. PHP is case sensitive.

$_sessions is completely different to $_SESSIONS.

The array construct in PHP does not work like in Javascript. There is no "New" operator. You don't need to use it to initialize an array, but if you want to use it its used as follows:

$myarray=array();
or
$myarray=array('firtname'=>'somevalue', 'lastname'=>'someothervalue',...);
