Re: [PHP] php4 / sessions
I would set it with $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['client_filter'] = $client_filter; Maybe that will work? I think they are trying to get people to quit using the session_register? I could be wrong. Anyways, take out the session_register and do it like I showed you above. One way to see if it is set before setting it is to: if (!isset($_SESSION['client_filter'])) { $_SESSION['client_filter'] = $client_filter; } That way it will be set before the rest of the script commences. Hope this works for you! If not, I'm not sure what the problem is and someone else will have to help you. --Joseph Guhlin http://www.josephguhlin.com/ Was I helpful?

Here's the code at the start of my script: session_name('CLIENTFILTER'); session_start(); session_register( 'client_filter' ); As I understand it, the variable $client_filter should now be available to me? But I can't see it with either just $client_filter or even $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['client_filter']. It's definitely setting a cookie in the browser, but it doesn't seem to be picking up the variable on subsequent pages. I'm on PHP 4.0.6 with register_globals turned on.

Re: [PHP] real password value
The better strategy would be to generate a new random password and assign that as the password. MySQL's password function is one-way, meaning you can encrypt it, but not decrypt it. The way you test it is by taking what the user has entered, along with the salt, and encrypting that and seeing if it matches the stored, encrypted password. There is no way to decrypt it without brute forcing it. So just assign a new password and mail it to the user. Hope this helps. --Joseph Guhlin http://www.josephguhlin.com/ Was I helpful?
