afaik, a session is handled as follows in later versions of php: 1. initiate session i.e. session_start(); this is required only if you do not have session.auto_start=1 in php.ini.
2. Add session variables to global array $_SESSION[] like $_SESSION['test']="test variable" 3. Access the session vaiable in subsequent calls as index of global associative array $_SESSION[]; e.g. echo $_SESSION['test'] 4. Finally, destroy the session when its no longer need by session_destroy() and free the resources allocated to this particular session. regds, -----Original Message----- From: toby z [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 14:36 To: Bobby Rahman; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] RE:[newbie]session problem hi try this initiate session on proc.php // init sessn session_start(); // register session variblez ! ! ! ! session_register("SESSN"); chech for session set on sum_page.php <?php // sessn chk ! ! ! ! session_start(); if(!session_is_registered("SESSN")) { // sessn chk failed .... invoke error hndlr ! ! ! ! header("Location: /nologn.php"); exit(); } the rest of ur code ..... ?> hope thid helps good luck toby .... --- Bobby Rahman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hiya, > > Im running php4.2.3 on Win98 and apache 2.0.43. > I am having troubles passing variables from page to page. > I try to use: > > session_start(); > session_register("test"); > > > when echo $test on a different page it seems to be empty > when not called from within the page originally created. > > I have session_start() on every page at the start just under the > php syntax > <? and also register the variables which I want global. > > I have edited the php.ini to set the session.save_path = > "C:/windows/temp" > and also have global variables set on > > > Any suggestions to what it may be as it doesnt seem to produce any > errors. > > > Thanks > > _________________________________________________________________ > Express yourself with cool emoticons http://messenger.msn.co.uk > > > -- > PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
