Hi,

I would like to enable ppl a country choice on the first page and it should
be saved while they're resting on my site so i can pre-select it on the
contact form, I tried following:
[top of index.php - nothing above]
<?php
session_start(); // start up your PHP session!
if ($_POST['country'])
{
$_SESSION['country']=$_POST['country'];
echo "counry's been saved as: ".$_SESSION['country'];
}
?>
[/top of index.php - nothing above]
[contact.php (where i wanna use the info)]
<?php
if ($_SESSION['country'])
{
echo $_SESSION['country'];
}
....
....
[/contact.php (where i wanna use the info)]
it wouldn't echo anything on contacvt.php....what have i forgotten/overseen?
Help apprecaited!
Thanks very much!
