[PHP] Re: How to create, name and start PHP sessions
you have to put this on top of every of your pages:
-
session_name(hasLoggedIn);
$stuff = session_name();
session_start();
-
session_name first sets the name. then you call session_start which will
look for the
sessionid in ${session_name()}. that is why you have to call session_name()
BEFORE calling
session_start();

Make sure you aren't sending any HTML to the browser for any reason before
the session_start(); call.
Surefire way to prevent this error: place the following line as the first
line of PHP script you execute on every page:
ob_start();
Check out http://www.php.net/ob_start for details on what that does.

[PHP] Re: How to create, name and start PHP sessions
OK thanx figured out a workaround in the meantime, I am setting and
retaining part of the session, but not all session variables, am I doing
this wrong???
$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
// Check for session - if session is set user has already logged in
session_start();
$login_state = $_SESSION[login_state];
if ($login_state[hasLoggedIn] === 1) $hasLoggedIn = 1;
if ($login_state[ip] != $REMOTE_ADDR) $hasLoggedIn = 0; // Prevents
session stealing
$temp .= Your new session id is: . $login_state[ip] . br;
$login_state[ip] never exists, though it's supposed to when the session is
created upon successful login:
// Set up session variable with username and redirect to pic upload lib
session_start();
$login_state[hasLoggedIn] = 1;
$login_state[ip] = $ip;
session_register(login_state);
header(Location: http://; . $HTTP_HOST . $PHP_SELF);
You can see I am going to be a big problem :(
