Hey guys. Well I have a question on making a session. I'm trying to make it so that when they Click a link it sets the session to the houseid.
Code: Select all
<a href="playerhouse.php?Id=<?php echo $houseid ?>$housename</a>
That is the code that I have an I have a while loop so that it posts all of the houses on that map. How would I set a session so that when they click one of the house links it sets a session to the $houseid. Thanks!

why would you want to set a session? Just carry the houseid through a POST or GET variable.
Look at your authenticate.php. It makes a session with username.

How would I do that though? Would I name the link as something? And I actually am making this from complete scratch, like I didn't use any of your source files so I don't have a authenticate.php file

Code: Select all
if (isset($_GET['something'])) echo "You passed ".$_GET['something']." through<p>";
echo "<a href='?something=5'>Pass something through post</a><br>";

See but where would actually set that get part? Because I want it kind of like an on-click type of function where I will set a session that equals to the houseid of the link clicked

to keep your data more secure you could use post
build the button
page where you would click to go to house
Code: Select all
echo "<form action='myhouse.php' method='post' >
<center><input type='submit' value='Go to house'></center>
<input type='hidden' name='houseid' value='$houseid'>
</form>";
myhouse.php
now lets say you wanted to go to another page from myhouse.php and bring over the $houseid and lets say you wanted to also wanted the player to choose how much gold to add to the house inventory
simply repeat the first code
Code: Select all
echo "<form action='deposithouse.php' method='post' >
How Much gold would you like to deposit? <input type='text' name='gold' size='11'> Gold<br>
<input type='hidden' name='houseid' value='$houseid'>
<center><input type='submit' value='Deposit Money'></center>
</form></tr>";
Then on deposithouse.php
Code: Select all
$houseid=$_POST['houseid'];
$gold=$_POST['gold'];

You know you can take the contents of a get or post and make a $_SESSION equal it? That's pretty much it?
