a word of caution right out of manual: " Caution If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use session_register(), session_is_registered() and session_unregister(). "
another snip from manual: " Use of $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less) is recommended for security and code readablity. With $_SESSION or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS, there is no need to use session_register()/session_unregister()/session_is_registered() functions. Users can access session variable like a normal variable.

I checked phpinfo() and made sure "register global variables is set=on". I then used: //In db api $num_results =mysql_num_rows($db_result); $_SESSION['num_results'] = $num_results; //In second file session_start(); require_once("db_api.php"); echo "THE num_result from db API is ".$_SESSION['num_results']; This seems to work.... when I try and use register_session() such as: //In db api $db_result = mysql_query($querystring); $num_results =mysql_num_rows($db_result); session_register("num_results"); //In second file if (session_is_registered("num_results")) echo "NUM RESULTS is $num_results"; I dont seem to get a value echoed. Not sure why? But hopefully $_SESSION will work now...thanks for all your help Toby and Janet -much appreciated :) >From: toby z <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Bobby Rahman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] RE:[newbie]session problem Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 >09:05:56 +0000 (GMT) > >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!? >Everything you'll ever need on one web page >from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts >http://uk.my.yahoo.com > >-- >PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger - fast, easy and FREE! http://messenger.msn.co.uk -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
