Hiya
I'm confused now as i thought
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS ["country"] = $country;
meant that i could refer to the session variable as $country ?
Also I get 'uk' from $country in the 'thiscountry.php' which i thought
suggested that $country was refering to the session variable?
However, I did what you suggested and changed functions so it now looks
like:
<?php session_start();
session_register ("country"); // Create a session variable called name
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS ["country"] = $country;
$country="UK";
?>
<?php
if($FuncToExec == "countrySelectUS"){
countrySelectUS();
}?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="12; URL=thiscountry.php">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<?php
function countrySelectUS() {
$_session['country']="US";
echo "new country is: " .$_session['country'];
}
?>
</body>
</html>
However, I still get the same problem, I click on the link, functions.php
displays showing 'new country is: US' and then I move automatically to
thiscountry.php where it says 'You are in UK'
which I dont understand :(
