look at this code..

PHP Code:

<?php if($level == 0){?>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><div align="center">This page contain adult content, and should only be view be people 18 or older.<br />
are you 18 or older?
<form method="post" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" name="yf"><label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="yes" />
</label>
</form>
by clicking yes, you agree to be 18 years of age or older.

<?php if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){
$query=mysql_query("UPDATE tra_users SET level='1' WHERE username='$username'")or die(mysql_error);
}?>

<?php
}elseif($level >= 1){
echo "blah"
} //$level is passed on by $_SESSION
?>

it works fine the only problem is that it does change from 0 to 1 in the database, but when i echo out the user level it echos out 0 and acts as if the user is on level zero even when in the database is not zero..

where are you getting $level from?

it says it $level is coming from $_session.. wich is passed to every ppage but what i need to do is refresh the user session.. how do i send the user to a page and get the url of that page and send him back to it?

Did you ever change $_SESSION[level] (assumping that's that variable) or do you ever grab it from the database before using your if statements?

You either need to mannual change your session variable or make sure to call it from the database

You will probably need to check the $_SERVER variables. I think there is a referer one in there.

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/reserve...riables.server - a link of the server variables

yeah everything works fine i just need a way to refresh the session.. because only works if i destroy the session and start it again..

Since I don't know what is before the snipet you posted it's hard to tell what's going on. But try this:

<?php if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){
$query=mysql_query("UPDATE tra_users SET level='1' WHERE username='$username'")or die(mysql_error);
$_SESSION[level] = '1'; //or whatever your session variable is.
}?>

Since I don't know what follows I can't see if you have stuff following it. And how the page is going to refresh itself.

The session change won't happen unless you've not printed any html etc to the browser. But it should happen on refresh.
