Hello,

I have a website, www.dittonminorsfc.co.uk, and on the team page, www.dittonminorsfc.co.uk/team.php?team=U7 it overwrites the session variable with what is in the $_GET at the top of the URL.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

 

p.s. the session variable isn't even called in the code, the only thing related to sessions is the <?PHP session_start(); ?> at the top of the page.

what's the code? It wouldn't do that unless the code was telling it do that. $_GET and $_SESSION are two completely different arrays.

I don't see where you're using $_SESSION anywhere in that code. I only see the $_GET variable being used in the query. So where / what exactly is the problem in the code you provided?

Tbh, I'm not sure.

 

Basically the session variable isn't used in the code, but for some reason, it overwrites $_SESSION['team'] with whats in the $_GET

It's used in the navigation, and the navigation says Team Management (U11) but when I load the team.php?team=U7, it overwrites it to say Team Management (U7) which then affects the rest of the site.

You'll have to show us the code for the navigation, then.

Here's the other navigation code where the problem occurs:

<?PHP if(isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) {echo "<div id='membermenu'><ul>   <li class='active'><a href='myprofile.php'><span>My Profile</span></a></li>";   if($_SESSION['ismanager'] == "1") { echo "   <li><a href='playerprofiles.php?team={$_SESSION['team']}'><span>Player Profiles</span></a></li>   <li class='has-sub'><a href='#'><span>Team Management({$_SESSION['team']})</span></a>   <ul>         <li><a href='editteam.php'><span>Edit Team</span></a></li>         <li><a href='viewparents.php?team={$_SESSION['team']}'><span>View Parents</span></a></li>		 <li><a href='adminemail.php'><span>Send Emails</span></a></li>      </ul>	</li>"; } else {};	if($_SESSION['reporter'] == "1") { echo "   <li><a href='writereport.php'><span>Write Match Report</span></a></li>"; } else {};   if($_SESSION['isadmin'] == "1") { echo "   <li class='has-sub'><a href='#'><span>Shop Management</span></a>   <ul>         ";  echo "<li><a href='shop.php?action=add'><span>Add Product</span></a></li>";		 echo "		 <li><a href='pricerequests.php'><span>View Orders</span></a></li>      </ul>	</li>"; }	if($_SESSION['isadmin'] == "1") { echo "	<li><a href='playerprofiles.php'><span>Player Profiles</span></a></li>   <li class='has-sub'><a href='#'><span>Administrator Tools</span></a>   <ul>         <li><a href='mass.php'><span>Mass Alert</span></a></li>		 <li><a href='writearticle.php'><span>Write News Article</span></a></li>		 <li><a href='adminemail.php'><span>Send Email</span></a></li>		 <li><a href='playerprofiles.php'><span>Player Profiles</span></a></li>      </ul>	</li>"; }   echo "   <li><a href='logout.php'><span>Logout</span></a></li></ul></div>";} else {}?>

Probably not the neatest code, but it's good enough for me. The team management ($_SESSION['team']) is where it goes wrong.

All it's doing is writing out the value. If the problem is which value is in $_SESSION['team'], then where do you set that?

That is set on the login script, from a value set by the database.

i can't tell if we've seen the team page or not >.<. Was it in post #3? What about this login page you mention, where DB value are getting set to $_SESSION?

 

It's going to be hard for us to help if you're not really even certain how your code is working. It sounds like you really just need to step back and take this thing step by step, and try and build things up one peice at a time so you understand how your code is actually working. It will give you a better understanding of the project and PHP, and hopefully along the way, will help find your problem.
