[PHP-DB] Re: sessions
Hi, if your register_global = on you can do it like you do, if register_global = off, use it like this: session_start(); session_register(session_username); //or $_SESSION[session_username] = null; session_register(session_level); // or $_SESSION[session_level] = null; $_SESSION['session_username'] = $username; $_SESSION['session_level'] = $account_level; echo $_SESSION['session_username']; Warren Mason : I am attempting to get information from a mysql database and then use this in a session. Is there a trick to using sessions? For example, can something like below be placed anywhere in a script? (I have the session_start(); at the very top of my page.) session_register( session_username ); session_register( session_level ); $session_username = $username; $session_level = $account_level; The resulting session is session_username|N;session_level|i:0; $username is set to warren and $account_level is set to 255. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have gone through about 5 books and searched the net and can't find an answer as to why this isn't working. - This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: sessions

From: Joseph Crawford [EMAIL PROTECTED] correct me if i am wrong but i have been told it is bad and insecure to use register_global=on You are wrong. :) Having register_globals OFF helps to prevent poorly written programs from being vulnerable to users setting variables in the URL/header/cookie data. You can still write horribly insecure programs with register_globals OFF. You can easily write very secure programs that function with register_globals ON or OFF, too. ---John Holmes...
