[PHP] Re: Sessions nightmare continue...
Why are you testing if $_POST['submit'] is set are you posting something to
the page??
In the two scripts you posted the code block wont be executed because there
is no post variable
being set.
Try this:
a1.php
==
?php
session_start();
header(Cache-control: private); // IE 6 Fix.
$_SESSION[login]=inside;
session_write_close();
header(Location: a2.php);
exit();
?
pre
?php print_r($_SESSION); ?
/pre
==
AND
a2.php
==
?php
session_start();
header(Cache-control: private); // IE 6 Fix.
if(!isset($_SESSION[login])){
echo(brsession variable NOT set);
}else{
echo(brsession variable set);
}
echo(brsession ID: . session_id());
echo(brsession value: . $_SESSION[login]);
?
pre
?php print_r($_SESSION); ?
/pre
==
Works fine now.

Hi all,
Still no luck with sessions. I have installed an older version: 4.3.1
and have register_globals=Off
I have 2 test pages a1.php and a2.php
All I want to do is register a session variable, set a value for it and
then in a2.php check that it is still registered and view the session's
value.
a1.php:
?
session_start();
header(Cache-control: private); // IE 6 Fix.
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
$_SESSION[login]=inside;
session_write_close();
header(Location: a2.php);
exit();
}
?
I can successfully register the session variable and set the value of
it on page a1.php but when I go to page a2.php the session variable is
not set and the value isnt set either.
a2.php:
?
session_start();
header(Cache-control: private); // IE 6 Fix.
if(!isset($_SESSION[login]))
echo(brsession variable NOT set);
else
echo(brsession variable set);
echo(brsession ID: . session_id());
echo(brsession value: . $_SESSION[login]);
?
I have been trying to get this to work for ages with no luck. I have
been reading the manual and have googled and cant seem to find the
problem. if anyone can help that would be great.
thanks in advance
Angelo

[PHP] Re: Sessions nightmare continue...SOLVED
Thanks to all that responded, I have finally found the problem:
When I installed PHP again, I kept on modifying the PHP.ini in the
WINNT directory (as specified in the manual) but the PHP.ini that was
being looked up was the 1 in the c:\php directory so I kept on trying
all new things and nothing worked.
Thanks again. Please remeber so that you dont make the same mistake as
me

[PHP] Re: sessions nightmare
I use JavaScript cookie to accomplish what you're doing in your case:
script
function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
var curCookie = name + = + escape(value) +
((expires) ? ; expires= + expires.toGMTString() : ) +
((path) ? ; path= + path : ) +
((domain) ? ; domain= + domain : ) +
((secure) ? ; secure : );
document.cookie = curCookie;
}
function nav(value)
{
setCookie('searcheditem', value);
location.replace('after-search-click.php');
}
/script
now in my search result display i do:
a
href=javascript:nav('?=$search_result['itemid']?')?=$search_result['la
bel']?/a
.
.
then in whatever page I want the search result item, i access it as:
$searchitem (as named in setCookie() call)
good luck,

Greetings,
I am a new user to php and sessions and for the life of me I
cannot figure this out
I want to be able to have a user login (which is completed), they goto a
search page (completed), and search for a particular item (completed). A
page will display all the links for the items searched for (completed).
What I want out of sessions is to when they click on the link for a
particular item, the item number stay in a session so it can be called
through out each page they goto. What I have as a base of test code is the
following (this was taken from someone's example):
test1.php:
?php
session_start( );
session_register(SESSION);
*** THE FOLLOWING VARIABLE ($retrived_itemno) WOULD NEED TO BE SET ON THE
*** SEARCH PAGE ***
$SESSION[item] = $retrived_itemno;
$test2Url = test2.php?PHPSESSID= . session_id( );
?
a href=?=$test2Url ?Goto next page/a
test2.php:
?php
session_start( );
echo the retrived value equals: $SESSION[item];
?
After you click the hyperlink on test1.php, test2.php will load and the
session ID is in the URL, but nothing is displayed in the echo for
$SESSION[item] in test2.php. What is going on?!#!#!$#
Thanks a million in advance!!

Try using $_SESSION instead of session_register, e.g.: test1.php: $SESSION[item] = $retrieved_itemno; $_SESSION[SESSION] = $SESSION; test2.php: $SESSION= $_SESSION[SESSION]; echo The retrieved value equals to . $SESSION[item]; HTH Erwin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: sessions nightmare
Your variable in session is called Item, so session_register(SESSION) is wrong. It should be session_register(Item). But, as you use directly the new syntax ($_SESSION) to affect the variable, you don't need session_register. The variable Item will be automatically registered when you write $_SESSION[Item] = $retrived_itemno; And, be careful for the typo : it is $_SESSION[Item] and not $SESSION[Item] (notice the _ and the ).
