Im having trouble getting the user input entered from one page (index.php) to be echo'd on the next page (receipt.php) but for some reason it keeps saying "undefined index: cleanEmail ...". Im using "session start" for all my pages.
So far iv got a variable made in tools.php called "cleanEmail" that will post the data entered into the specified field from the index.php page(email field in this case) and i tried calling it on the receipt.php page using echo and $_SESSION['cleanEmail'].
Iv tried include(index.php); in the receipt.php page but for some reason after doing that the index and receipt page will be stuck forever in loading and never actually load the page, iv tried include(tools.php); in the receipt page and pretty much crashes the index page for some reason.
Relevant code from tools.php:
<?php
session_start();
include("bookings.txt");
?>
$cleanEmail = $_POST['cust']['email'];
Relevant code from index.php:
<?php
require("receipt.php");
?>
<?php
session_start();
$title = "Lunardo Cinema";
$style="style.css";
include("tools.php")
?>
<form method="post" action="https://generic_website_name/receipt.php">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<span class ="error">* <?php echo $emailErr;?></span>
<input type="text" id="cust-email" name="cust[email]" placeholder="JohnMoreDoe@gmail.com" >
</form>
Relevant code from receipt.php:
<?php
session_start();
$title = "Receipt Page";
?>
<?php
echo("{$_SESSION['cleanEmail']}"."<br />");
?>
what i need the code to do is When an email is entered in by a user in the input field for email, it will save that input in session and then i can later call it on another page using the same session.
If you want to see all 3 .php files with all the code in it i can upload a link to download a .rar file containg the 3 .php files and the .css file (assuming we are allowed to post links here)
You never store $_SESSION['cleanEmail'] in tools.php
$cleanEmail = $_POST['cust']['email'] will not becomes session variable
To store session variable, you have to write like this:
<?php
$cleanEmail = $_POST['cust']['email']
$_SESSION['cleanEmail'] = $cleanEmail;
?>
