Hi guys. I can't seem to get "Refresh page, don't change background colour" to work. When I click on the link, the URL at the top says:
http://localhost/StudentPHP/session.php? and the background goes back to white.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
<?php
@extract($_GET);
@extract($_SESSION);
session_register("bgcolor"
;
if (isset($color)) {
switch ($color) {
case "Yellow":
$bgcolor="#FFCC00";
break;
case "Blue":
$bgcolor="#4682B4";
break;
case "Silver":
$bgcolor="#C0C0C0";
break;
case "Beige":
$bgcolor="#FFE4C4";
break;
default:
$bgcolor = "white";
break;
} // end switch
}
if (empty($bgcolor)) {
$bgcolor = "white";
}
?>
<html>
<head><title>Session Example</title></head>
<body bgcolor='<?php echo $bgcolor; ?>'>
<form method='GET' action='session.php?<?php echo SID; ?>'>
Select a background color

<input name='color' TYPE='radio' VALUE='Yellow'> Yellow

<input name='color' TYPE='radio' VALUE='Blue'> Blue

Have you looked at previous forums? This comes up every year, sooner or later

*doh!* 
Well, in case someone from next year's course browses here first, I might as well post the solution.
"Instead of SID I use session_id() and put a session_start() on first line of my code. Now there is no need for the session_register["bgcolor"], instead I retrieve the value with $_SESSION["bgcolor"]. " - Miekie
