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:

I tried this and could not get this working either. Does anyone know which is the best way to do it? What are the pros and cons of doing this with track_vars or as globals? Thanks, Mike Hi, The php manual at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php says: "If track_vars is enabled

Try as below. Note both the global and the session_register statements. function set session() { global $my_session_var,$HTTP_SESSION_VARS; session_start(); $my_session_var = "Blah blah"; session_register($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['my_session_var']); } Kirk -Original Message-

I'm trying this and it's still not working. Here is my code in 2 files, write_sess.php and read_sess.php. I've been trying to figure this out all day. /* WRITE_SESS.PHP */ ?php function write_session() { global $my_session_var, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; session_start(); $my_session_var =

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. For instance, $a="b" session_register($a); actually registers a variable called $b. I made that mistake in my post too. -- PHP General

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. Mike Hi, That code causes php to crash. I have never had that happen before. Every time I try to run that script, I am given

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,

OK, try this. The session_start() has to come before the global statement: ?php function write_session() { session_start(); global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[my_session_var] = "Boogedy Boogedy"; session_register($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["my_session_var"]); } write_session(); echo

YES! That's what it was. You rule man. Why would session_start need to come before the global variable declaration? You'd think session_start would need $HTTP_SESSION_VARS declared beforehand to load the session variables into? Thanks, Mike OK, try this. The session_start() has to come

Mike, my experiments suggest you can also get rid of the session_register() statement. Seems that simply assigning to $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[my_session_var] is enough. Kirk -Original Message- From: Michael Champagne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Subject: RE: [PHP] I don't understand
