Session Results Help Please

Posted 03 May 2009 - 08:44 AM

Hi I'm trying to create a booking system and below is my code. I want the result of the code to be posted to a page called results

  
<?php

// php login in here

if ($_GET["Monthci"] < 10) {				//Converts check in Month into format need by putting a 0 infront of single digits
$correctedmonthci = "0".$_GET["Monthci"];}
$correctedmonthci = $_GET["Monthci"];

if ($_GET["Dayci"] < 10) {					//Converts check in Day into format need by putting a 0 infront of single digits
$correcteddayci = "0".$_GET["Dayci"];}
$correcteddayci = $_GET["Dayci"];

if ($_GET["Monthco"] < 10) {				//Converts check out Month into format need by putting a 0 infront of single digits
$correctedmonthco = "0".$_GET["Monthco"];}
$correctedmonthco = $_GET["Monthco"];

if ($_GET["Dayco"] < 10) {					//Converts check out day into format need by putting a 0 infront of single digits
$correcteddayco = "0".$_GET["Dayco"];}
$correcteddayco = $_GET["Dayco"];



$checkindate = $_GET["Yearci"]."-".$correctedmonthci."-".$correcteddayci;	//Forms date into needed format
$checkoutdate = $_GET["Yearco"]."-".$correctedmonthco."-".$correcteddayco;	//Forms date into needed format

$days = round((strtotime("$checkoutdate") - strtotime("$checkindate"))/(60*60*24)); // Subtracts Checkin Date from Checkout date


$resort = $_GET['Resorts'];


$query = "SELECT * FROM hotel WHERE Resort = '$resort' ";		//Query for for finding hotels





 $result = mysql_query($query) 
	or die ("Couldn't execute query.");
	
	
	
echo "<form action = 'results.php' method='POST'>";

	
	
	while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {					//Creats Results table
	
	
		echo "Resort:		".$row['Resort']." <br/>";
		echo "Reviewer:	".$row['Reviewer']." <br/>";
		echo "Star Rating:		".$row['Star']."<br/>";
		echo "Website:	".$row['WebAddress']." <br/>";
		echo "<input type='radio' name = ".$row."d value =".$row['SingleRoom']."/> 
				Cost of a Single Room During Stay = £ ".$row['SingleRoom']*$days." <br/>";
		echo "<input type='radio' name = ".$row."d value =".$row['DoubleRoom']."/> 
				Cost of a Double Room During Stay = £ ".$row['DoubleRoom']*$days." <br/>";
		echo "<hr>";
		};


echo "<input type='submit' value = 'Proceed To Results' />";


?>

I need help on how to output the above result into another page and allow the user to see the page using session.

You need to start a session on each page, and on the first page you need to store your variables in session variables, then restore them on the second page.

Try this:

fileA.php

<?php
session_start();

$x = "some text";

$_SESSION['X'] = $x;
header("Location: fileB.php");
?>

fileB.php

<?php
session_start();

$y = $_SESSION['X'];
echo $y;
?>

Start with fileA.php

When they submit the php "File1" which the code i submitted earlier calculates the users input.

I want to know how to create the sessions so that this code results can be displayeed in a new page when the submit button is clicked

<?php

// php login in here

if ($_GET["Monthci"] < 10) {				//Converts check in Month into format need by putting a 0 infront of single digits
$correctedmonthci = "0".$_GET["Monthci"];}
$correctedmonthci = $_GET["Monthci"];

if ($_GET["Dayci"] < 10) {					//Converts check in Day into format need by putting a 0 infront of single digits
$correcteddayci = "0".$_GET["Dayci"];}
$correcteddayci = $_GET["Dayci"];

if ($_GET["Monthco"] < 10) {				//Converts check out Month into format need by putting a 0 infront of single digits
$correctedmonthco = "0".$_GET["Monthco"];}
$correctedmonthco = $_GET["Monthco"];

if ($_GET["Dayco"] < 10) {					//Converts check out day into format need by putting a 0 infront of single digits
$correcteddayco = "0".$_GET["Dayco"];}
$correcteddayco = $_GET["Dayco"];



$checkindate = $_GET["Yearci"]."-".$correctedmonthci."-".$correcteddayci;	//Forms date into needed format
$checkoutdate = $_GET["Yearco"]."-".$correctedmonthco."-".$correcteddayco;	//Forms date into needed format

$days = round((strtotime("$checkoutdate") - strtotime("$checkindate"))/(60*60*24)); // Subtracts Checkin Date from Checkout date


$resort = $_GET['Resorts'];


$query = "SELECT * FROM hotel WHERE Resort = '$resort' ";		//Query for for finding hotels





 $result = mysql_query($query)
	or die ("Couldn't execute query.");
   
   
   
echo "<form action = 'results.php' method='POST'>";

   
   
	while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {					//Creats Results table
   
   
		echo "Resort:		".$row['Resort']." <br/>";
		echo "Reviewer:	".$row['Reviewer']." <br/>";
		echo "Star Rating:		".$row['Star']."<br/>";
		echo "Website:	".$row['WebAddress']." <br/>";
		echo "<input type='radio' name = ".$row."d value =".$row['SingleRoom']."/>
				Cost of a Single Room During Stay = £ ".$row['SingleRoom']*$days." <br/>";
		echo "<input type='radio' name = ".$row."d value =".$row['DoubleRoom']."/>
				Cost of a Double Room During Stay = £ ".$row['DoubleRoom']*$days." <br/>";
		echo "<hr>";
		};


echo "<input type='submit' value = 'Proceed To Results' />";


?>

1) Read post #2.

2) Do the same thing with your code.

What do includes have to do with session variables?
2) Why are you using strictly html in the first file? Html is static, so it has no variables. You need to set up your html (which could be generated by php) to post to a php file which will then process the information and generate new html.
3) If you do use php to generate html, then there might be some values that you want to pass from one page to another, even if other values are posted. That's where session variables come in, and that's what I've demonstrated in post 2.

How do you do that then. I'm a complete novice with PHP so don't understand what you saying

I'll be ahppy if you can break iy down a little bit. THe first code is the finder and the php code above is the process php. So how do i include the session and what should i do so that when the user access the process php on submit the results selected by the will display in a file called result.

Note I'm taliking about three php files here
1. the finder
2.the process
3.the result page

First, I see no reason to have more than two files. What you call the finder could be followed by one page with the process and results. In fact, the whole thing could be on one page!

Second, you really should be writing this using OOP. Even if you manage to finish it using procedural coding you're going to have great difficulty editing it when changes are needed later. At the very least you should be breaking things up into functions, but go all the way and learn about classes.

Third, don't use the word "include" unless you're talking about including files into your code. That's what it means in this context, so you're adding to the confusion by using it.

One more thing:

Computers are ideal for doing redundant tasks. Whenever you have code that is repetitive, there is very likely a better way to do it. Your html from post #5 for example, is a good candidate for being generated by php:

<?php
$opts = array("0","1st", "2nd", "3rd", "4th", "5th", "6th", "7th", "8th", "9th", "10th", "11th", "12th", "13th", "14th", "15th", "16th", "17th", "18th", "19th", "20th", "21st", "22nd", "23rd", "24th", "25th", "26th", "27th", "28th", "29th", "30th", "31st");

echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>';

echo "<form action='file1.php' method='GET'>
<p>Select from the Drop down your preference of Location or places you wish to stay for your Holidays? </br>
	</br>
	<select name='Resorts'>
	<option value='Istanbul'> Istanbul </option>
	<option value='Bodrum'> Bodrum </option>
	<option value='Antalya'> Antalya </option>
	<option value='Izmir'> Izmir </option>
	</select>
	</br>
</p>";

echo "<p>
	Enter Start Date of your holidays!
	<select name= 'Dayci'>";
for($i=1;$i<32;$i++) {
	echo "<option value ='".$i."'> ".$opts[$i]." </option>";
}
echo "</select>
	<select name= 'Monthci'>";
for($i=1;$i<13;$i++) {
	echo "<option value ='".$i."'> ".date("M",mktime(0,0,0,$i))." </option>";
}
echo "</select>
	<select name='Yearci'>
		<option value='2008'> 2008 </option>
	</select>
</p>
<p>Enter End Date of your holidays!
	<select name= 'Dayco'>";
for($i=1;$i<32;$i++) {
	echo "<option value ='".$i."'> ".$opts[$i]." </option>";
}
echo "</select>
	<select name= 'Monthco'>";
for($i=1;$i<13;$i++) {
	echo "<option value ='".$i."'> ".date("M",mktime(0,0,0,$i))." </option>";
}
echo "</select>
	<select name='Yearco'>
	<option value='2008'> 2008 </option>
	</select>
</p>
<p>
	<input type='submit' value='Submit'>
	<br />

</body>
</html>";

?>

See if you can shorten this further by putting the resorts in an array.

When the user selects a date, it is sent to the next page (which could be the same php file) via GET.

Post #2 is just an example of how to transfer information that isn't sent via POST or GET.
