So I was wondering if it would be possible to store data coming in from a form as a session variable.

Heres what I have so far, but I don't know what to put for the Form Action.

Thanks for looking!

<strong>Test Form</strong>
<form action="" method"post">
    <input type="text" name="picturenum"/>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit!" />
</form>

<? 
    if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) { 
        $_session['picturenum'] = $_POST['picturenum'];
    } 
?> 

<strong><? echo $_session['picturenum'];?></strong>
forms html variables php

You can solve this problem using this code:

if(!empty($_GET['variable from which you get'])) 
{
$_SESSION['something']= $_GET['variable from which you get'];
}

So you get the variable from a GET form, you will store in the $_SESSION['whatever'] variable just once when $_GET['variable from which you get']is set and if it is empty $_SESSION['something'] will store the old parameter
