I have a drop down list on page1.php

<?php $dbtables = $_COOKIE["notables"];`
 if ($dbtables == "41")
 echo "option selected = 'true' value = '41'>41</option?>";
 else echo "<option value='41'>41</option>"; ?>

if(isset($_POST['Submitbtn'])){$_SESSION["tables"] = $_POST['notables'];
die("<script>location.href = 'page2.php'</script>");

i want to display the value to page2.php using session but it is blank. No.of tables:

i have started session_start(); on both page. is there anything wrong?

ff cc

did you check `session_start()`'s return value? Did you check if `session_id()` returns the same value on both pages? – Marc B Apr 20 '15 at 15:00
are those ticks `\`` part of your code? – Funk Forty Niner Apr 20 '15 at 15:01
Hi marc B , how do i do it? – ff cc Apr 20 '15 at 15:02
blank page may mean syntax errors. Add error reporting to the top of your file(s) right after your opening PHP tag for example ` – Funk Forty Niner Apr 20 '15 at 15:02
no this ' are not part of the code – ff cc Apr 20 '15 at 15:02
plus you're repeating `if ($dbtables == "41")` – Funk Forty Niner Apr 20 '15 at 15:03
hi it still show empty string – ff cc Apr 20 '15 at 15:05
hi fred, sorry i copy double time. i post here for page1.php coding. 41"; else echo ""; ?> – ff cc Apr 20 '15 at 15:07
please edit your code as per what you are really using. check for errors as stated in my previous comment and remember that cookies only take effect once the page has been reloaded and not on initial page load, and should be checking to see if the cookie has indeed been set. – Funk Forty Niner Apr 20 '15 at 15:09

What does `print $_POST['notables'];` give you in the submit condition in "page1.php"? – bloodyKnuckles Apr 20 '15 at 15:46
it will post the value (notables) from the dropdown list. actually notables = no.of tables in short – ff cc Apr 20 '15 at 15:57
