In one form, I ask a user for his name, I use POST and send the user to FormTwo.php and save the $_POST[“name”] to the session.
In the second for I ask for his lastname and do the same and send him to the registerComplete.php page.
I’m trying to echo all the information he wrote, which by my understand should be accesible through the $_SESSION array, right?
What am I doing wrong? 🙂
RegisterFormOne.php:
<?php session_start(); ?>
