Re: [PHP] Register globals and ini_set
If i use, at the beginning of my scripts,
ini_set('register_globals', 0), register globals will be
turned off?
if you have php = 4.2.3 yes, otherwise no.
it has to be set in php.ini, .htaccess, or httpd.conf
You may NEVER set register_globals at runtime with
ini_set() regardless of PHP version.

Philip

On Fri, July 8, 2005 7:50 am, Terry Romine said: You *ARE* doing session_start at the top of each page, right?... Ya gotta do that. I was setting the $_SESSION by: $_SESSION['var_name'] = this; or $my_local = this; $_SESSION['var_name'] = $my_local; There *WAS* a bug in PHP [mumble] (4.1.10???) where the $_SESSION data was leaking out to PHP as a string reference (never mind PHP has no such data type). You could detect it by dumping out $_SESSION and you would see an in front of all the strings. So if you later did: $var_name = ''; Then your $_SESSION['var_name'] was *ALSO* getting set to '' I had stopped using session_register() some time back. Sporatically meaning that some of my variables are working fine, while others seem to become empty when referenced by a later script. These scripts were working fine on the older PHP version. I'm sure it's just a quick determination as to what to change, and then I can do a global update across the site. There are about 20-30 websites that this affects, so you can see my frustration in trying to do this by bits and pieces. I had done a test file like this: test1.php: ?php $_SESSION['check'] = test 1; echo($_SESSION['check']); ? a href='test2.php'Click/a and test2.php: ?php echo($_SESSION['check']); ? test1.php displays test1 but test2.php displays nothing. Looks to me more like the more mundane: You didn't do session_start() at the beginning of both scripts. Go to Jail.

Re: [PHP] Register globals and ini_set
I'm having a serious pain with globals.. maybe someone can help.
My major client moved her service from one server to another, and with it, PHP
went from 4.1 to 4.2+.
Register Globals was turned off, and when everything failed to work, tech
support turned them back on via .htaccess. I'm planning to update the hundreds
of scripts over the next weekend or so, but for right now,
my $_SESSION['variable'] seem to be failing sporatically. It doesn't seem to
make a difference whether I have session_start() at the top of the file or not.
Shouldn't something like this work?
?php
session_start();
$my_local=$_SESSION['global_var'];
echo($my_local);
?
where $global_var is set in one file and then used in another?
Thanks for any help
Terry

Re: [PHP] Register globals and ini_set
Since you mention the PHP version was old (4.1) then I have to ask: were you using the $_SESSION array all along or were you using session_register to register session variables? Although you probably aren't since that would be rather easy to debug. The script in which your global_variable was set makes absolutely no difference. PHP is just looking for the SID someplace anyways (whether that's COOKIE, GET or POST) and then it goes and retrieves that session that matches that SID. OK... when you say that it fails sporadically, what do you mean exactly? Probably, based on what you've just said, you're somehow assigning into your $_SESSION variables through the use of global variables that have the same name as your $_SESSION indexes. http://php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php#ini.session.bug-compat-42 -- NEW? | http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html STFA | http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-generalw=2 STFM | http://php.net/manual/en/index.php STFW | http://www.google.com/search?q=php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
