I´m trying to put an input value into a php variable so I can pass it to the next page via session.

This is my code:

Page 1:

 <?php
     session_start();
     if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
         $name = $_POST['Flightnumber1'];
         $_SESSION['Flightnumber'] = $name;
     };
 ?>
<form method="POST" action="CCPSeven.php">
<input name="Flightnumber1" />
<input name="Submit" type="submit"/>
</form>

Page 2:

 <?php
    session_start();
    $Flightnumber1 = $_SESSION['Flightnumber'];
    echo $Flightnumber1;
 ?>

For some reason it does not work, it does not show me any errors too. I also can not open the debugger tool as it directly freezes firefox, so it´s status is "(Not Responding)".

Please help.

Do you have any whitespace (spaces/new lines) before the ` – Blue Jan 18 '18 at 18:08
If you have whitespace causing headers to be sent before you start your session and error reporting is off or turned too low this will fail silently – John Conde Jan 18 '18 at 18:08
There's nothing on your form named submit. – Don't Panic Jan 18 '18 at 18:08
@Don'tPanic I'm assuming he didn't include his submit button – Blue Jan 18 '18 at 18:08
@FrankerZ , No I even put it directly on top of the code – Deadpool Jan 18 '18 at 18:09
From what I see in your code, it's indented slightly (With 1 space before it) – Blue Jan 18 '18 at 18:09
@JohnConde Error reporting is on – Deadpool Jan 18 '18 at 18:09
Is the code being run? Check to make sure you're in the `if` block of code – Blue Jan 18 '18 at 18:10
Error reporting is on, but is it set to report all errors? – John Conde Jan 18 '18 at 18:10
At the very top of the file (Before `session_start()`), put the following: `error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1');`, and run the script again. – Blue Jan 18 '18 at 18:11
@FrankerZ I'm just going by what I can see. Without the submit button included, there's no way to tell whether or not it has `name="Submit"`. – Don't Panic Jan 18 '18 at 18:12
@Don'tPanic , Oh i forgot give me a sec – Deadpool Jan 18 '18 at 18:13
@Don'tPanic How does he even submit that form? – Blue Jan 18 '18 at 18:13
@FrankerZ you can submit a form by pressing Enter. – Don't Panic Jan 18 '18 at 18:14
@FrankerZ forgot to add submit button, just added it in my question – Deadpool Jan 18 '18 at 18:14
Okay, never mind that, then. Sorry for the tangent. – Don't Panic Jan 18 '18 at 18:15
btw maybe it helps, if I pass simple strings the session works, so it´s about the value and variable – Deadpool Jan 18 '18 at 18:15
Is Page1 CCPSeven.php? – Don't Panic Jan 18 '18 at 18:17
@Don'tPanic, no it page 2 – Deadpool Jan 18 '18 at 18:18
So the form posts to page 2, but the code that handles the post is on page 1? – Don't Panic Jan 18 '18 at 18:19
@FrankerZ I tried your error reporting, nothing showing – Deadpool Jan 18 '18 at 18:19
Then simply put, your code isn't being executed. That code *should* work fine, assuming that `isset($_POST['Submit'])` is true, and `$_POST['Flightnumber1']` is your value. Make sure you're submitting to the correct screen, debug with print_r(), ie `print_r($_POST)`. – Blue Jan 18 '18 at 18:20
@Don'tPanic The code that handles the post is on page 2, I´m just trying to post the session to next page, it works with simple 'strings' but not with variables :( – Deadpool Jan 18 '18 at 18:21
@FrankerZ can I message you in 10 minutes ? – Deadpool Jan 18 '18 at 18:22
