Help with session variables

**colinod** · Jun 26 '13, 04:21 PM

I have a shopping cart type of thing on my website where you can shortlist mp3's and then email the list to another person.

can be seen here

404 Not Found

http://www.yaketyyakallmouth.com/fluidpages3/boys2.asp?id=402&voicetype=All

you can see the list of mp3 and shortlist button this all works fine but i am now trying to add the facility to shortlist an artist and not a clip, i have a shortlist button at the top this works and adds the artists id number to a seperate session variable.

My problem is i have been asked if i can record the voicetype selected on the artists page at the top where it changes the clips on the page so when the link is emailed and you will receive a link to the artist page it will take you to the voicetype you had selected when you shortlisted them

the asp code is

Code:

<%
if InStr(session("recordsInCart"), ","&request.form("recordNum")) = 0 then 
   session("recordsInCart") = session("recordsInCart") + request.form("recordNum") &","
else 
   'do nothing
end if 
%>
<%
if InStr(session("artistsInCart"), ","&request.form("artistNum")) = 0 then 
   session("artistsInCart") = session("artistsInCart") + request.form("artistNum") &","
else 
   'do nothing
end if 
Response.Write(session("artistsInCart"))
%>

form that adds the artist to shortlist is

Code:

<form action="boys2.asp?id=<% Response.Write yaketyRecordset("idnumber") %>&voicetype=<% Response.Write (voiceid) %>" method="post">
      <input type="hidden" name="artistNum" value="<%=yaketyRecordset("idnumber")%>">
      <% if InStr(session("artistsInCart"), ","&yaketyRecordset("idnumber")) > 0 then %>
      <span class="shortlisted">SHORTLISTED</span>
      <%else %>
      <INPUT type="submit" alt="Add to shortlist" border="0" value="SHORTLIST">
      <%end if%>
    </form>

form that adds mp3 to shortlist is

Code:

<form action="boys2.asp?id=<% Response.Write yaketyRecordset("idnumber") %>&voicetype=<% Response.Write (voiceid) %>" method="post">
      <input type="hidden" name="recordNum" value="<%=yaketyRecordset("idnumbermp3")%>">
      <% if InStr(session("recordsInCart"), ","&yaketyRecordset("idnumbermp3")) > 0 then %>
      <span class="shortlisted">SHORTLISTED</span>
      <%else %>
      <INPUT type="submit" alt="Add to shortlist" border="0" value="SHORTLIST">
      <%end if%>
    </form>

my asp is good but im a bit lost with this and am sure it must be possible
