This variable is registered in the Session, and the variable isn't active
until the page refreshes. It's hard to explain. I thought I would try.
There are some things you can do. If you need the variable right away, you
can do this:
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user1"])) {
$user1 = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user1"];
}
else {
$user1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS["user1"];
}
echo $user1;
Hope that helps. This is natural for sessions, but I have been in the
situation where I needed the session variable right away, instead of the
script's next activation.
