Is it necesarry to start the session here? Maybe it is if they have to be logged in or something Normally I only start the session when I indeed can assign some session variables in the same page >>Page 2: >>//Start the Session - begin Block >>@session_start(); >>//Set the session variable, input on Page 1 >>$_SESSION['f1a'] = $_POST['ListingName']; //Set the session variable, input on Page 1 session_register('f1a'); $_SESSION['f1a'] = $_POST['ListingName']; >>Page 3: >>//ON this page, I check that f1a still exist using an >>echo - generally it does unless : >>//Start the Session - begin Block >>@session_start(); >>if (count($myarray) > 5) { >>$_SESSION['arrayerr'] = "you have selected too many industries"; header ("Location: Page2.php"); exit; } If the validation above passes, no problem. But if it >>doesn't, once it redirects, the session variable , f1a is bye bye. Why do you put the error message in a session variable? Also you will get an error (header already sent) I suppose since you first send some text and then do a header. Also if you rederict to page2.php, at the beginning of that page you set $_SESSION('f1a')= $_POST['ListingName']; Since there are no POST values (you are coming from page3) $_SESSION('f1a') will get an empty value... Maybe this causes the loss... I dunno if this will help, I'm not that good at php.
