[PHP] RE: Help with Sessions - Should be easy =]

session_register(sessionvar);

you can now assign values to $sessionvar (or whatever you've chosen to call
it). You need to register each variable and start the session at the top of
each script.

In practice it's a lot easier if you hold all your session stuff under a
single hash array, that way you only need to do 1 session_register and you
don't have to worry about post/get variable names clashing with session
variables.

If this doesn't work look at your track_vars and register_globals settings.

Subject:  Help with Sessions - Should be easy =]

I am coming from an asp background, and am used to setting session
variables
very easily, but I cannot work them out here with all the different
commands.

I would like to store in a session variable output from a mysql db
(Got the
db bit working fine) but cannot for the life of me store or retrieve
anything from a session variable.

(more information if required)

I am retreiving user information from a database after verification,
and
would like to place certain feilds into a session variable for easy
access/retreival. I can get the information out of the database, but
cannot
place it into any sort of variable that will store on the page.

I have the latest official PHP, running with IIS on a Windows 2K
server with
IIS.

More questions to follow no doubt,

Thanks in advance,

- Tomasz

Why don't you give us a code snippet so we know how you are trying to do it.
