I have a couple in there myself) Change: return false; To: return ''; And things should start working as expected. As near as I can tell, things *are* working, but I'll change it to return the ''. What an odd thing to require - I guess it's because it is expecting a string in the true case. I've noticed that for the most part, PHP allows you to do things very easily, is very extensible, and yet, for something so (relatively) new, it has a lot of well, ugly, features like this. I don't mean to knock the whole project, as it's very cool, and I'm sure very hard work to maintain - but DB access is pretty weird, and the calls vary across DBs - I ended up coding a bit of my own thin layer to generically call DB functions, and not have to worry about mysql_foo, pgsql_foo, etc. It seems that it would be pretty easy to have that as part of the language. It's rough edges and strange issues like that that just make me scratch my head. Every single language I've worked with has them (what I call isms - Java-isms, PowerBuilder-isms, C-isms - I can usually become productive with the core of a language pretty quickly - usually inside of a week, as any good programmer can, but the isms can be the part that take a few months to get right - try telling any HR person/hiring manager that, and you won't get far, though. :) They still want X years of Y, W years of Z, rather than doing some simple aptitude type of testing, or going on recommendations, nah, let's just scan resume for keywords and time periods...no wonder they claimed they couldn't find people before the recession.), but PHP just seems to have some really weird ones that you think would be easily remedied. That being said, doing session type stuff in PHP is still a ton easier and more intuitive, IMHO, than mod_perl or some Java app servers. Also, since it's a built-in, it's rare that from project to project it will vary. Even when there are best practices for things like this in a language/environment, I still seem to inherit code where people go skipping down the bunny trail doing some weird and buggy stuff because they didn't know what they were doing - when it's built in, that's less likely to happen. The db layer I mentioned above would prevent just this sort of thing - maybe this is already a planned feature? -- Sean LeBlanc:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo:seanleblancathome ICQ:138565743 MSN:seanleblancathome AIM:sleblancathome Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using no data at all. -Charles Babbage (contributed by Chris Johnston) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Give the attached scripts a shot, a post the results.
Note: Xitami(server+WinMe) + IE5.5 or Mozilla 9.7 works
fine but with Netscape-4.9 it returns var names? But
when served from Unix/Linux and Apache all 3 work as expected !!
Anywhy give them shot. -- David

[PHP] Session troubles
I asked this on php-install list, but got no response so here goes... I simply cannot get session to work correctly. Here's the test script: include(incl.php); session_start(); $mine++; session_register(mine); echo $mine; incl.php includes code to save/retrieve session information to/from DB. It calles session_set_save_handler at the end. What happens is I get an error because it is trying to read the variable out and I get a DB error, but my session writing routine is never called...I know, because I have a print in there. And of course, the var doesn't increment upon refreshes - it remains 1. I've seen this before, and it was fixed, but I forget how it was done, as I didn't actually implement the solution (I hear and I forget, I do and I remember, I guess).

[PHP] Getting session to work
I'm trying to use my own session handler. I tried several examples before trying it out on my local box. It worked, and I don't know why it didn't work on the other. Here are the setups: My local box (where it works): OS: Windows 2000 PHP 4.0.6 Apache 1.3.x I didn't even have to set the handler setting from files to user, and it worked. Original box (where it does not work) OS: FreeBSD 4.4 PHP 4.0.6 Apache 1.3.22 The session value basically doesn't get changed at all. No errors get printed, just no change in session value. The example I ended up finally using is the one described here: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/ying2602.php3 BTW, the vanilla session handler is not working under the FreeBSD setup, either. This is the target platform, so I really need to figure this out Please, any and all help is appreciated!!! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
