RE: [PHP] I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS
Hi Kirk,
I'm not sure that's how it is supposed to work. I really think that this is
a PHP bug. I had to turn register globals back on in order to get my code
working again. I thought you're supposed to be able to simply declare a
variable, do a session_register on it, and then access it on subsequent
pages using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. I'm going to keep register globals on for
now I think. Thanks for your help!

Re: [PHP] I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS
Hi, The default php setting is with track vars on, and register globals on I believe. I have never tried anything else. I turned globals off to see if I could help you with your problem. If you check the manual, they do not put much explanation into how to use sessions with globals off, though I have read that some webservers may have globals turned off. -- 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]

Re: [PHP] I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS
Maybe I should just go back to using globals then. What does everyone else do
normally? Globals or use the track_vars? I can't get these things working at
all.

Also, you are registering a variable rather than a name. So, unless there is a quoted name for the variable value, I don't think that would work.

day.

Re: [PHP] I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS
Hi, The php manual at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php says: "If track_vars is enabled and register_globals is disabled, only members of the global associative array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS can be registered as session variables. " so, did you try this: session_register($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["my_session_var"]; -- 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]
[PHP] I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS
I'm still having problems with this. I was able to get sessions and session
variables working ok with register_globals=on, but I had read that it was
better not to keep register_globals on so I turned it off and I'm trying to
figure out how this works now.
I'm registering a variable in one function say like this:
function set session()
{
global $my_session_var;
session_start();
$my_session_var = "Blah blah";
session_register('my_session_var');
}
Then I'm trying to read it in another function like this:
function read_session()
{
global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
session_start();
echo ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[my_session_var]);
}
I assume this isn't the right way to do it since it doesn't seem to work. I
have register_globals off. Does anyone know what I should be doing?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
