PHP Form error with session

I am so close to having this thing working.

Basically I have a form that submits to a checkout page where people would put in their info. I have a php that extends out a special array for a CRM API.

I did a print_r ($url); to see the results of an eror I am getting.

The name on the form is called email, inside the php I have it as $email = "email"; so it should choose the users input and send it to the API. However in the debug results I get an error message because it was trying to send: &email=email. I have at the top a session_start(); but I think I need to add more to the session just do not know the syntax.

 

okay had some success:

Code (Text):

1.  
2. page one form name for email = email
3.  
4. page two (with php) : [B]$email = $_POST['email'];[/B]
5. [B]echo $email;[/B]
6.  
7. [code]
8.  
9. It does, but it refuses to allow anything else?
10. nextone is name (form name = fname)
11.  
12. [B]$fname = $_POST['fname'];[/B]
13. [B]echo $fname;[/B]
14.  

results:

Notice: Undefined index: fname in ~/checkout.php on line 7[/code]

 

I don't understand what this has to do with sessions, as $email = $_POST['email']; is not a session.

Basically, if $email is empty, that's because $_POST['email'] is also empty.
The undefined index error is a notice, not an error. These can be ignored, however it is good practice to fix them.

$fname = isset($_POST['fname']) ? $_POST['fname'] : null;
