BoarderLine Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 PHP 5.3.3 I am trying to redirect a user (currently logged in) to a page where they are able to edit a posted comment. To keep things secure I am using a forms hidden input value to pass the {postID} to a redirect page <form name="post_edit" method="post" action="post-edit-redirect.php" > <input type="hidden" name="local" id="local" value="<?php echo $row_rsPosts['postID']; ?>" /> <input type="image" src="../imgs/managepost.png" name="submit" /> </form> On the redirect page (simplified below) I am setting the {postID} in a SESSION before redirecting to the user to the page to edit their post with the new $_SESSION val for {postID} set. session_start(); $id = $_REQUEST['local']; $_SESSION['postID']=$id; header("Location: edit-post.php"); This is working fine in every browser except IE (some one please just put an end to it), where when the edit-post.php page is reached the $_SESSION['postID'] is empty. If I regenerate the session ID from the redirect page as below IE then sets the SESSION ok. session_start(); session_regenerate_id(); $id = $_REQUEST['local']; $_SESSION['postID']=$id; header("Location: edit-post.php"); However there should be no need to do this and would rather not if there is no need. Any help on why IE is not setting the SESSION is appreciated, and I hope I am not covering old ground here however I am unable to find a solution anywhere. - Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoarderLine Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Also if my cookie settings were not correct then other browsers would also fall over on this.... No no, I am now convinced that the reason that this is not working is because IE is S#*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsmith105 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 BoarderLine, Why are you using sessions for an 'Edit Post' feature? Did you do a var_dump() on $_SESSION and $_REQUEST? Can we see more code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
