Hello I want to say sorry in advance because I am not a english native speaker but I will do my best explaining the issue that I have , I have a registration form based in multiple steps, I have a issue dealing with some data which is stored in the session, I'll explain the navigation flow below:
1.- (First step) The user register himself and click the submit button, If the submit is success set the data in the session using a method in my current model and redirect to the next page (another method in my current class)
2.- (Second step) The user set his address, e-mail and phonen number (which is optional) and click the submit button If the submit is success set the data in the session using a method in my current model and redirect the user to the next page. (Other method)
3.- (The third step) THE ISSUE IS HERE At this point I printed the all the data in the session variable of course the phone fild is empty because I did not fill it in the previous page, when I back to the previos page (User adress) in order to set a phone number and press the submit button, I store the post data in the session again (overwrite only the array in the session which belongs to this step), after press the submit, my app redirecme to this step again (Third step),
when I retrieve the data in the session (I have a method in my model to do this), I can not see the phone number that I set the prevevious page :S , but I can see the this data (phone number) Only when I refresh my current page.
I already checked all the data flow but I cannot understand why I have this data behavior, does someone can give me a hand?
Array(
[usuario] => Array // Data stored in the First Step
(
[usr_nombre] => Name
[usr_paterno] => Middle Name
[usr_materno] => Surename
[usr_curp] => curp
[usr_rfc] => rfc
[usr_email] => fake@mail.com
[usr_acepta] => 1
)
[direccion] => Array // Data stored in the second step
(
[usr_tel] => <-- Phone number is empty, which is ok because is an optional field and it was not set in the previous screen
[usr_dir] => direccion
[usr_colonia] => colonia
[usr_codigo] => 55130
[usr_pais] => 147
[usr_region] => 2410
[usr_ciudad] => municipio
)
[cursos] => Array // Third step
(
[crs_1] => 1
))
My code with some explanation
if (!isset($_SESSION)){
session_cache_limiter('private_no_expire');
session_start();
}

I set the phone numbrer and click the submit in order to stored the data in the session (in the direccion method whith is going to redirectme to this
method again)
when I see the data in the session array , the phone number is not there until I refresh the page (in this method)
