[PHP] Re: synchronizing php functions
Well I have a system that people can login to, and I want to produce an array (or something of the sort) that holds who is logged in so that I can monitor it. The problem is that sessions are local to the clients machine so if I tried to put this information in the session then the only information that I would get back is the people that are logged in on my machine, not the server (Please tell me if I wrong in what I say here). Therefore I need to be able to but this information in the session and have it available to all sessions (sort of like the way static variables in Java belong to the class and not the individual objects that are created from that class). So if you undersatnd what I'm trying to do here and know of a way to do it I would love to here it.

[PHP] Sessions
Since turning of register_globals in the php.ini file, sessions don't seem to be working any more, does anyone know why? == Philip MacIver -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] Just in case...
Just in case anyone happens to have this problem sometime in the future, after a lot of testing it seems that it is not necessary to have the line global $GLOBALS before you us the '$GLOBALS' array in a function, or a function in a class. You can just use it. In fact if you have the line global $GLOBALS it doesn't seem to reference the actual '$GLOBALS' array. This is what I have found to be the case anyway. If anyone knows why this is, or knows different to what I have just said, please do let me know, because I would love to know how it all works. Anyway, merry xmas, I'm not doing any of this tomorrow. == Philip MacIver -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] $GLOBALS array
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the
'global $varName'
function with the '$GLOBALS' array itself.
I have been having some trouble with this. I have decieded to switch of
register_globals in the php.ini file (seeing as
it is now deprecated in version 4.1.0)
I know that register_globals is still supported, but I would like to get used to not
using it.
But anyway, the problem I am having is that when I post data from a form to another
page the data is not available
globally, so I wrote a method to register them globally, it looks like this
function globaliseVars($varArray) {
global $GLOBALS;
while (list($varName,$var) = each($varArray)) {
$GLOBALS[trim($varName)] = trim($var);
}
}
But doing 'global $GLOBALS' doesn't seem to make it refer to the actual '$GLOBALS'
array, the only time it did work was
when I place something into the '$GLOBALS' array on the page that calls the function.
So
/**
* This doesn't work
*/
globaliseVars($HTTP_POST_VARS);
/**
* But this does
*/
$GLOBALS[ANYTHING] = anything;
globaliseVars($HTTP_POST_VARS);
If anyone could help me with this problem please could they get in touch, because its
driving me crazy.
Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Re: $GLOBALS array
Basically I use the MVC (Model View Controller) architecture when building my php
scripts. So all of my logic is
handled by a controller which calls methods on functions,
that way the php scritps that are used to display forms, tables etc. have little to no
business logic to them at all.
Now in the controller I woul find it pretty annoying
if I had to reference either the $HTTP_POST_VARS or $HTTP_GET_VARS aarry, so to add to
the fact that it would make the
code look more messy than it needs to be.
So all I wanted to know was is it possible to use 'global $GLOBAL' within a function?
