Hi, I am running into a problem that I can't figure out the solution to. So I'm hoping that someone can give me some pointers here. I have two files (see below): verify.php and edit.php The job of verify.php is basically to verify that a user is in the database before allowing him/her to edit the information. The information retrieved is saved to arrary varaiable $row. I do a session_register() to $row and that information should be passed to subsequent pages that has session_start(), right? However, when I tried to print out the information again in edit.php, it doesn't seem to register it in. At first I thought it was the array problem, so I put the array variable $dummy to test it out and that can be reigstered and retrieved correctly. What am I doing wrong??? Also, how do I redirect to a page automatically once the user is verfied (right now I have to ask the user to click on a link to redirect).
Thanks in advance, Peter /******* verify.php ********/ <?php session_start(); include("config.php"); mysql_connect($host_name, $user_name, $passwd) or die("Unable to connect to $hostname."); // select database on MySQL server mysql_select_db($db_name) or die("Unable to select databse."); // formulate the query $sql_statement = "SELECT * FROM $table_name WHERE user_id = '$user_id' AND password = '$password'"; $result = mysql_query($sql_statement) or die("Unable to execute query."); $num_of_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); /* XXX: test array variable...take out later */ $dummy = array("one", "two", "three"); session_register(dummy); if (!$num_of_rows) { echo "<h3>User ID and password missmatch, try again!</h3>"; } else { while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { session_register(row); // register information retrieved from MySQL } printf("Successfully Logged In! <a href=\"edit.php\">Click Here</a>"); echo "<br>"; } ?> /************* edit.php *****************/ <?php session_start(); foreach ($dummy as $val) { echo $val .
