hi Jason
The TEXT variable is $catname and the $rubriqueid is a mistake it is
actually $catid but it is not that giving the problem. It is an error from
my part when I posted it.
My html looks ok.
I should tell you though that this page is on the admin section which is
under a login session script I use, which was recommended by some one on the
forum.
The script is in the include folder and the file is called access.php and I
include this file in every Php files found in the admin folder.
So if I have to think of using the session for my problem in passing the
variables, can I use session_register("$catid") in the forum page to
register and start new session or should I include it in the login script
where there is already password, userid and the user name registered.
Is it possible to start a new session for these two form pages and register
the variables, will it co-habit with the existing session? I am pretty
confused with session; I've checked the Php manual and couldn't really get
the gist of it.
Thanks for any help in advance.
