| PHP Session Help
Helloooo
Im using this PHP session to display data when a user logs in.
e.g.
session_start();
echo $_SESSION[console];
Basically - Its displaying their favourite games console in text.
The session will either display 'Xbox 360', 'Playstation 3' or 'Nintendo Wii'.
Is it possible to display a picture of their favourite console?
For example: if [console] = 'Xbox 360' -> display ../images/xbox360.jpg
You get what I mean!
Thanks for reading

| Why not use cookies?
Because if you use sessions and they close theire window, they have to reassign what favorite console they have.
edit: Code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['choose_console'])) {
if($selection == "1") {
$_SESSION['console_1'] = $console_1;
session_register("console_1");
}
}
if(isset($_SESSION['console_1'])) { echo "<img src=picture.jpg>"; }
?>
etc...
(didnt test the code )

| PHP Code: session_start();
if ($_SESSION['console'] == 'Nintendo Wii') {
echo 'wii stuff <img src="wiiimage.jpg" />';
} elseif ($_SESSION['console'] == 'Xbox 360') {
echo '360 stuff <img src="360.jpg" />';
} elseif ($_SESSION['console'] == 'Playstation 3') {
echo 'ps3 stuff <img src="ps3.jpg" />';
}
xlusive: your code has random variables that aren't used anywhere.
abdulmueid: yours wouldn't echo an image, just the path to it. | |

I can't get this code to work but thanks for trying.
David.

| There are other..probably even better ways to do it, but: PHP Code: <?php
session_start();
//I'm assuming you pull this info from the db
//on a login page, you could do the following
//if login successful
$_SESSION['console'] = $user_console_pref;
//Then wherever you want the image displayed
if (isset($_SESSION['console']))
{
switch ($_SESSION['console'])
{
case 'Nintendo Wii':
$console_stuff = 'wii stuff <img src="wiiimage.jpg" />';
break;
case 'Xbox 360':
$console_stuff = '360 stuff <img src="360.jpg" />';
break;
case 'Playstation 3':
$console_stuff = 'ps3 stuff <img src="ps3.jpg" />';
break;
}
echo $console_stuff;
}
?> | |
