Is it just me? Because I don't understand the problem description.
Do you want to automate what you are doing manual?

I was just trying to ask for any help in understanding of SOAP, XML-RPC,
their use and some simple example for starters...

TextPad
Available from http://www.textpad.com
This is one of those excellect programmers editors which can do proper
syntax recognition and coloring (of PHP, and many other languages besides),
and the PHP syntax rules are themselves stored in an easy-to-edit text file,
so if more functions get added to PHP in the future, they can still be
appropriately colored. TextPad can also be configured to execute PHP files
from a menu item and can even capture the output into another text window.
Rumor has it that it can even be configured so that if you double-click on a
PHP error message you get jumped to the correct file and line containing the
error - but I haven't got that to work yet (although I have got it to work
for Java so it definitely does work).

Yep, its free, and it easy to access, does not need
hazel with download an installation, etc. Simply the

ok this has helped alot and I found the source of my problems.
However I have another question now:
once created I pass the session ID through the URL. I also have some
variables defined within this session and I would like to be able to access
those on the subsequent pages until I kill the session. Sofar I had no
success.
I tried using the session_name("foo"); on the page where I initially create
the session and then using the same session name on the subsequent page
before I do session_start();
because I read somewhere that this is how you access your already created
session, without creating a new one, but this has failed sofar.
A new session is created and I can't access my old variables obviously.
What am I doing wrong?
Please, understand that I am fairly new to PHP so these may be stupid
questions, but I need to learn this somehow.
Thanx,
Iggy

According to the xhtml spec, you should be sending the doctype tags and PIs
like this :
http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/xhtml_syntax.asp
<!DOCTYPE Doctype goes here>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>Title goes here</title>
</head>
<body>
Body text goes here
</body>
</html>
Which means that you should *not* hav a PI at the top specifying xml. So,
if you send a header with content-type of xml but leave out the PI a the
top of the document, what happens ? (NB : PHP will send content type
text/html unless you specify otherwise )
Hope that helps
Neil.

ok I have a very simply question to which I have not found a good answer
yet.
I have disabled cookie based sessions, i.e I pass the session Id through the
URL. How do I access the variables and their data that are related to that
session ID on subsequent pages?
Thanx
Iggy

Set session values like this
session_start();
$_SESSION["username"] = "sjohnson";
Get session values like this
session_start();
echo $_SESSION["username"];
The $_SESSION MUST be uppercase.

I have done this million times, but it doesn't work.
I declare the session variables like you said it, but the moment I go on the
next page a new session is started instead of retrieving the old one.
I don't know if there is something in the php.ini file that I still need to
set, but I am getting frustrated. The way you mentioned works fine if you
have cookies enabled ( I mean if this is set in php.ini to 1's, but as you
see I have both of those disabled)
; Whether to use cookies.
session.use_cookies = 0
; This option enables administrators to make their users invulnerable to
; attacks which involve passing session ids in URLs; defaults to 0.
; session.use_only_cookies = 0
But for reliability reason I don't want to use cookies whatsoever.

before calling session start, use this:
session_id( xxx )
xxx must be the session ID as created on the previous page. If you need to
know what the session id currently is use
session_id()
xxx must be alpha-numeric only btw. If there is no session with the session
id of xxx, then a new session will be started WHEN session_start() is called

In face of the lack of enthusiasm generated by my question, I decided to
write the blasted function myself. (a refreshing exercise in recursion)
If anyone is interested to obtain a copy, drop me a note.

New to windows/PHP!
I'm having quite a bit of trouble with getting sessions to work right.
I've got PHP 4.3.1 installed on Windows 2000 with IIS. php.ini is
default from installation.
Each time I run session_start(), a new session is created disgarding the
previous page's session. If I call ini_set('session.auto_start', '1'),
the next page returns a $SESSION['any_var'] as nothing.
How can I get the session to "stick"?
If anyone needs more info on the configuration, please let me know.
Thanks for any/all help!

1. 'session.save_path' is set to 'c:\php\sessiondata'
I watched that directory & this is what I found:
Example1 For each page I call session_start(), a new session file
gets created. So: call a page, file gets created checking, say,
$_SESSION['username']. nothing there, so call login page. After login is
submitted, another file gets created while registering session vars.
Next go back to original page, another session file gets created
checking for, say $_SESSION['username'] existence. Since another session
is created, that variable is null.
Example2: I ini_set('session.auto_save', '1'), & session_start()
once (one session file gets created). But then when I return to the
original page (no session_start() should be needed?), the
$_SESSION['username'] ends up being null again.
From my unix experience with sessions, there should only be one file
created & reused (in both examples), right?
2. I actually use $_SESSION['name'], mine ($SESSION['any_var']) was
a typo.
Having these examples of what I've tried, do you have any idea what
could possibly be going wrong here? Or do you have any ideas on what I
could try to get around this problem?
Thanks,
Greg
