No, with sessions there will essentially be multiple values for the variables, one for each session. When a user requests a page their session id will be used to set the correct values in the $_SESSION array. For example, when ronald loads the page $_SESSION['username'] will be ronald.

Re: [PHP] session variables
--- Diana Castillo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you store session variables , but the user has session cookies disabled, is there any way to recuperate those session variables? Cookies come in two types: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies have no set expiration date, so they expire as soon as the browser session ends. Persistent cookies don't expire until the date indicated, and this often involves persisting them in a file (cookies.txt, for example). So, I think you just mean to ask how to make sessions work when the user has disabled cookies. Cookies are only used to propagate the session identifier, so you don't lose session data. At worst, you would just be unable to identify the user on the next request. PHP handles this last potential problem for you with the session.use_trans_sid php.ini directive. This will rewrite your URLs (in links and such) to include the session identifier, and PHP will automatically check both for the bookie and the URL variable. So, you will probably not need to do anything special. Hope that helps.

[PHP] Session Variables Disappear and Reappear
New to PHP and I've checked previous posts and haven't seen similar problem.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Have encounted an odd problem. Using session variables to allow users to log
in and out of my site. I've created a test system on my laptop. Apache
2.0.48,
PHP 4.3.4, MySQL and Windows 2000. On my test system everything works
perfectly. Sessions are created and maintained as long as the browser is
open.
I can also destroy sessions.
However when I load everything up to my site via FTP the results are very
sporadic. Sessions seem to drop and reappear. While a user is logged in I
display a Logged in as: X message at the top of the page. I can
continually refresh the page and occassionally the Logged in as X
message will disappear showing the Please Login Form. If I refresh again
(without logging in) the page shows the user is again Logged in.
Here's the script that I use to log users in:
?php
error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
//check for required fields from the form
if ((!$_POST[userid]) || (!$_POST[password])) {
header(Location: Salkehatchie_Home.php);
exit;
}
session_start();
//connect to server and select database
$conn = mysql_connect(x.x.x.x, xx, x) or
die(mysql_error());
//echo Connection is $conn br;
mysql_select_db(xx_salkehatchie,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
//create and issue the query
$sql = select userid, password, privs from userlist where userid =
'$_POST[userid]' AND password = '$_POST[password]';
//echo USERID is $_POST[userid]br;
//echo PASSWORD is $_POST[password]br;
//echo SQL is $sqlbr;
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
//echo Result is $resultbr;
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
//echo Number of Rows are $rowsbr;
//get the number of rows in the result set; should be 1 if a match
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
//if authorized, get the values set the $_SESSION Variables -- userid,
password and privs
$_SESSION[userid] = $_POST[userid];
$_SESSION[password] = $_POST[password];
$_SESSION[privs] = mysql_result($result, 0, 'privs');
//Direct user to members page
header(Location: Salkehatchie_Members_Home.php);
exit;
} else {
//redirect back to login form if not authorized
header(Location: Salkehatchie_Home.php);
exit;
}
?
I start off each webpage with the following script:
?php
//Check for existence of Valid Login ID
error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
header(Last-Modified: . gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s) . GMT);

This all works perfectly on my test system but creates problems at my site.
If anyone would like to see this for themselves go to the following site:
http://www.salkehatchiehuntersville.com/Salkehatchie_Home.php
and log in using test/test as userid/password. When logged in go back to the
home page and then continually refresh that page. You will see that that the
user moves in and out of a logged in status. This will also show up on other
pages but since this site is under construction it's safest to stick to the
HOME page.
Other possibly helpful information. Web Hosting site is BlueDomino.
Thanks for your help.

[PHP] PHP Session Variables Not Being Set For Certain Browsers
Hello All,
I have been racking my head over a problem where a large percentage of users
are unable to log into my php site due to what seems to be a problem with
setting php session variables on certain end user browsers (certain versions
of AOL seem to be particularly problematic). Below are some snippets of code
that are used to do the authentication/ login.
Has anyone encountered the same problem and if so do you have a solution?
The only solution I can think of is to pass the session using PHPSESSION in
the URL however I would like to avoid this if at all possible as it involves
a major re-write of the code (as session variables are used elsewhere in the
session) and if I am not mistaken if a user accesses a non-php page then the
session is lost requiring them to log in again.
Currently the following code is used to check whether a user is logged in:
?php
$notAuthenticated = !isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['authenticatedUser']);
$notLoginIp = isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['loginIpAddress'])
($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['loginIpAddress'] != $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]);
if ($notAuthenticated || $notLoginIp) {
if (!session_is_registered(targetURL))
session_register(targetURL);
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['targetURL'] = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];
header(Location: /smartbid/php/Login.php);
}
?
And in Login.php after doing a check on the username and password the
following session variables are set:
session_start();
session_register(authenticatedUser);
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['authenticatedUser'] = $userId;
session_register(loginIpAddress);
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['loginIpAddress'] = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR];
It is the setting of the above session variables in Login.php that appears
to be failing for some browsers resulting in users using these browsers
continually being redirected to the Login page when the above check to see
if they are logged in is done.
Any help that could be supplied would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Andy

Not sure, but maybe AOL users on proxy and their ip address can change.

Re: [PHP] PHP Session Variables Not Being Set For Certain Browsers
Hi Andras,
Yes, good point Thank you. It could be that the IP address of the user is
changing on each HTTP request that is made, which would explain the problem
(although that does seem quite odd). Can anyone confirm whether AOL (or any
other ISPs for that matter) change a user's IP address as seen by the web
server (for eample through a proxy) within the same session?
Assuming that the above is the problem, does any one know whether by
removing the check in the authentication to see whether the user is using
the same IP address as they logged in with comprises the security of the
login i.e. will it be possible for some one to hijack the login if this
check is not there? Or does anyone have any other suggesstions for doing
authentication?
Thank you.
Regards,
Andy

Re: [PHP] PHP Session Variables Not Being Set For Certain Browsers
Hi Gerard, Thank you very much for the response. Please can you clarify the following: 1. At the time of login will the login code need to check if the clients browser accepts cookies and if not then append the SID as described? If so, do you perhaps have a sample piece of code that does this? 2. Am I correct in understanding that if the client has logged in (with no cookies enabled i.e. the SID needs to be passed) and the site contains other static pages (that cannot pass the SID) that if the client browses any of these static pages and then returns to a page that required the client to be logged that they will have to log in again? 3. For forms, where the SID need to be passed, do you pass this as a hidden form variable or do you do it on the URL? You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

No, php does this for you. Thats why I gave the explanation of the value of
SID when browsers accept, or dont accept cookies.
Sample code
?php
session_start();
if (SID === '')
{
echo 'Cookie Exists';
}
else
{
echo 'Cookie doesnt exist';
}
echo 'pa href=' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?' . SID . 'CLICK ME/a/p';
?
If the browser does accept cookies, on the first page load, it will report
Cookie doesn't exist because the cookie wont become available till the next
page load. After the initial page load, it will report Cookie Exists.
If the browser does not accept cookies, it will always say Cookie doesnt
exists.
2. Am I correct in understanding that if the client has logged in (with no
cookies enabled i.e. the SID needs to be passed) and the site contains
other static pages (that cannot pass the SID) that if the client browses
any of these static pages and then returns to a page that required the
client to be logged that they will have to log in again?
Yes that is correct. The session id must stay in all urls within the site.
If you are able to direct them to a static page, you should still be able to
pass the SID in the url/form/iframe/etc they click.
3. For forms, where the SID need to be passed, do you pass this as a hidden
form variable or do you do it on the URL?
I have it passing in the form's action attribute, so it stays in $_GET domain
like regular links.
echo 'form action=foo.php' . SID . ' method=post

[PHP] session variables scope problem. HELP!
I've spent a few hours trying to resolve a problem with session variables.
The session variables are intended to ensure login and/or whether or not a
user is an administrator with other permissions. My intent is to test for
the variables, if not present, redirect to login page or deny access.
It seems that once a session is started and variables set, I can access the
variables on the page on which they are set, but on subsequent pages via
link or Header redirect the session variables are not set and cannot be
accesses.
I read that Header redirect dumps session variables, so I tried simply
painting a message that said Login successful. Proceed with a link on
proceed. After clicking the link and going to page 2, session variables are
not set.
I've read site helps, my books, and am at a loss. Code follows.
Any comments are GREATLY appreciated.

RE: [PHP] SESSION variables losing data on WinXP?
Knew I forgot to mention something. No, register_globals are off. Using
$_SESSION[] variables. I am logging in first. I log in fine, its when I
try to go to another page via a link on the entry page that I get booted
back to the login page. My scripts work fine on a Unix server, which is
what I reluctantly had to go back to using as this projects deadline is
too close not to do so. Its just on my computer locally that this does
not work. Code is below, it is fairly long.
Example Code:
//validation.php
include_once 'db.php';
include_once 'common.php'
session_start();
$uname = isset($_POST['username']) ? $_POST['username'] :
$_SESSION['username'];
$pwd = isset($_POST['password']) ? $_POST['password'] :
$_SESSION['password'];
if(!isset($uname))
{
header(Location: login.php);
exit;
}
$_SESSION['username'] = $uname;
$_SESSION['password'] = $pwd;
dbConnect(db);
$sql = SELECT * FROM admin WHERE
admin_uname = '$uname' AND admin_pword = PASSWORD('$pwd');
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
error('A database error occurred while checking your login
details.\\nIf this error persists, please contact
[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$admin_id = $row['admin_id'];
}
$_SESSION['aid'] = $admin_id;
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
unset($_SESSION['username']);
unset($_SESSION['password']);
header(Location:login.php?item=badlogin);
exit;
}
___
//login.php
... this is an html page with the login form. When submitted it goes to
index.php.

1.3, and MySQL 3.23.53. The validation page is called on each page, but
if I go to a page other than the entry page (which the validation page
takes you to when you first log in), it throws me back to the login
page. Has anyone run into this and have you solved it? Anyone have a
suggestion? Code is rather lengthy, if you want it I can send it off
list.

Re: [PHP] SESSION variables losing data on WinXP?
Speaking of your problem, you're using the header() function to exit the
webpage to the login page. So, it all come down to the either one of these
two or both of these two
if(!isset($uname)) {
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
Upon closer inspection on the script, it look like either the $_POST['***']
wasn't returning data or the $_SESSION['***'] doesn't have data in it that
tripped the header() function. So, I'll take the assumption that the
$_POST['***'] does work as it alway does. So, it narrow down to
$_SESSION['***'].
Since you mentioned that you use it on both Unix and Windows. So, most
likely it all narrow down to php.ini. Can you check to verify that the
filepath is correct for Windows and that there is no issue with file
permission. Here's what I have that work for me on Windows 2000.

Re: [PHP] Session Variables in a Class
Thanks Curt,
You were absolutely correct. Removing the
session_register() lines before the $_SESSION[] fixed
the problem. By mixing the two before, it actually
would register the variable so I could later test for
the registered session variable but it did not retain
the value I assigned it. Thanks again for the help.

Re: [PHP] Session Variables in a Class
From: micro brew [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here's my class. I start the session in the
constructor and in later methods attempt to register
session variables. You can see I've tried a couple
different methods but none of them maintain the
session variable values. Any suggestions?
Is register_globals ON or OFF? You shouldn't mix session_register() with
$_SESSION. Just use one other the other, but I recommend just using
$_SESSION.
$_SESSION['var'] = 'some value';
to set a session var, and
if(isset($_SESSION['var']))
to see if a variable is set.
Also, if you have a varible $foobar within a class method that you define as
a session var, you must make it global if you want to access it in other
methods. The same thing for HTTP_SESSION_VARS. I think you're just running
into a scope issue.

You have to include the class-definition _before_ you start the session.

What do you mean don't work... what are you trying to do?
page1.php
?
session_start();
$_SESSION['today']= date('Y-m-d h:m:s');
?
html
body
a href=page.2.phpclick to go to page 2/a
/body
/html
page2.php
?
session_start();
?
html

The value of $_SESSION['today'] is ?=$_SESSION['today']?.
/body
/html
This code assumes you either have trans-sid compiled OR are allowing cookies
on your browser AND cookies is a method that PHP sessions use (it is by
default) in php.ini.

[PHP] Session Variables Not Being Passed
The code that I have is as such:
//header.php
if(isset($_POST['login'])){
$checkuser = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM mainacct WHERE username =
'{$_POST['username']}' AND password = '{$_POST['password']}' , $connection) or die
(Couldn't find user.);
if (mysql_num_rows($checkuser) 0){
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($checkuser)){
$_SESSION['UN'] = $row['username'];
$_SESSION['UserLoggedIn'] = True;
}
} else {
header(Location:login.php);
exit;
}
}
This file is then used as an include in main.php. As long as the variables are used
ONLY in the header.php file, it works. But when I try to call the session variables in
main.php, it doesn't show the values of UN or UserLoggedIn. session_start() is called
in main.php. Is this a quirk with sessions, or is there something more I am supposed
to be doing? Running Apache 2 w/PHP 4.2.3 on WindowsXP.

You're only expecting one row to be returned, right? You could test like
this:
if($row = mysql_fetch_array($checkuser))
{
$_SESSION['UN'] = $row['username'];
$_SESSION['UserLoggedIn'] = TRUE;
}
else
{
header(Location: http://yourdomain.com/login.php;);
exit();
}
You should use an absolute URI for your header() call, not a relative
one.
This file is then used as an include in main.php. As long as the
variables
are used ONLY in the header.php file, it works. But when I try to call
the

sessions, or is there something more I am supposed to be doing?

Well, Apache 2 and PHP aren't stable together yet. It's not recommended
you use them together and that could be causing your problem.
Are you including this file before or after session_start()? If you call
session_start(), include the above code, and then $_SESSION['UN'] is not
available later in the main.php page, then it's a bug...

[PHP] Session variables
I am designing a form using sessions in which the user inputs their details on page 1 and after submitting they are directed to page 2 for confirmation. They then have the option of editing their input (ie they are returned to page 1) where their previous input is reflected in the form fields by value ='?php echo $var ?'

Obviously this is labourios to code... you can do this a lot smarter/quicker
with an array for the entire select box... have an array of days, and do a
foreach loop which writes the all the options for you, with the if
statements, etc etc.
By the way, this has nothing to do with sessions :)
It's purely about how to populate drop-down menus from an array, and how to
have the correct value selected if it exists, else showing a default
selection.

[PHP] session variables in OOP....
Hi all, I'm busy building a site which uses OOP. Several classes are used to constuct different sections of the final page to be displayed. The overall class is called class.basepage.php This is the page which outputs HTML and calls other classes to construct other parts of the page. Now I have this problem: In one of the objects I use session variables. However i get the famous error :Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started Is there a way to overcome this problem? I mean: the session variable is registered in the main part of the page after the class $this-header is called (which writes HTML)... now, I don't think I can register the sessionvariable at the top of my script since the value of the session var is determined in the main.class...or can I? I hope you understand my problem and have some tips for me. Below is some code snippets I'm using: thx and regards Wilbert Enserink class.basebape.php--- ?php $this-header(); ?// includes a php file which writes HTMLcode functioning as the header of the HTML page (i.e. navigation menu) ?php $this-main(); ? // includes a php file (main.php) which writes the main part of the HTML data --- ---main.php-- echo a lot of HTML depending on queries and stuff; session_register($variable); output browser-- Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /opt/guide/www.designmatcher.com/HTML/wwwtest/class.basepage.php:125) in /opt/guide/www.abc.com/HTML/wwwtest/phpincludes/main/main.php on line 400 - - Pas de Deux Van Mierisstraat 25 2526 NM Den Haag tel 070 4450855 fax 070 4450852 http://www.pdd.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] -

Re: [PHP] session variables in OOP....
If you want to do it right, don' t output anything, obviously. Instead of using ECHO, assign all output to a variable within your class. Then, at the end of the processing, after everything is done, echo out that variable (which will contain the entire page). Then you can set cookies, sessions, whatever, at any point. Or you can use output buffering... ---John Holmes... - Original Message - From: Wilbert Enserink [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 7:44 AM Subject: [PHP] session variables in OOP Hi all, I'm busy building a site which uses OOP.

RE: [PHP] session variables
Apparently under the bug report database for bug number 16043, my exactly problem was described. According to the PHP team, this windows/apache1.3.23/php4.1.2 session not writing to file bug has been fixed in the 4.2.0RC1 binaries. I've patched my php4apache.dll with the ones from 4.2.0RC1 AND it still doesn't work!!! Anyone who used 4.2.0RC1 came across this problem and made it work? -Original Message- From: SHEETS,JASON (Non-HP-Boise,ex1) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 12:43 PM To: Lee, Ford Subject: RE: [PHP] session variables This isn't limited to windows 2000, I've seen it on nt and xp as well.

[PHP] session variables in functions....
Somebody knows why I cannot reach the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS in a function
For example, why does this not output the en-US string three times:
?
session_register(LangID);
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[LangID] = en-US;
echo($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[LangID]);
echo(**);
function CurrentLang(){
$language = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[LangID];
echo($language);
}
CurrentLang();
echo(**);
echo($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[LangID]);
?
