Imagine having ten session variables working and then adding another with a numeric index between sessions five and six declarations. I can see the session with the numeric index not working, but why would sessions six through ten stop?

Re: [PHP] SESSION problem
Hello Tedd, it seems to be a naming problem. You may not use a numeric value for a variable name to store in $_SESSION. By assigning it to $_SESSION, you get a Notice: Unknown: Skipping numeric key 1 in Unknown on line 0 and in your second script a Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in yourpath\index1.php on line XX - whatever line it was in your script If you define $_SESSION['var'.$i] = $i; or $_SESSION[$i.'var'] = $i; or even $_SESSION[$i.'.1'] = $i; the $_SESSION won't forget your vars on the way to script 2. But it's a bit strange, that you can use your numeric keys in script 1. I tried with other Superglobals like $_POST and $_COOKIE and they seem to accept numeric variable names. So, is that a php bug? But as the docu says A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, I think you can not complain about it. Cheers Sabine tedd schrieb: Hi gang: Arrggg -- what the heck is going on?

I agree.
But what I find even more annoying is:
1) No error is generated.
2) The error prohibits ALL other SESSION variables legally declared
after the error to stop working!
In other words, if you make the mistake of using a numeric index for
a SESSION, then ALL legal SESSIONs declared after that will stop
working. And, what makes this even more frustrating is that ALL
SESSIONs declared before will continue to work. IMO, it would be
better if once you screwed it up, then everything would stop working.
So, let's say this happens (as it did to me last year), you have a
set of scripts that work fine and in one script you use a numeric
index for a SESSION. Once that statement is encountered in the flow
of the program, ALL other SESSION variables declared after that don't
work anymore.
In one sequence of scripts everything worked fine and in a different
sequence only some things work. That was maddening and I never knew
what it was until now. And, no mention of this problem in the
documentation.
This should give you a bit more ammunition for your I never use

You have never moved data between arrays?!? Come on, I'm sure you

It's an old habit I have filling arrays -- I never had any problems

This works:
for ($i; $i10; $i++)
{
$things[$i] = $other_things[$i];
}
I was looking at SESSION the same way -- after all it IS called an array.
Let me play the age-card -- in every language I've programmed in for

Not really, since I would never name a session variable 1, or 2, or

It's natural to me to see the session array as a filing cabinet. At
the top level you would have files with names that indicate what they
are. Within each file it may be further divided into numbered
sections. Given that I can't see into the future, even if I currently
only have one set of data (file) to store in the session (the filing
cabinet) I wouldn't just chuck the bits of paper from the file into
the filing cabinet. I'd leave them in the file such that when I need
to add a new file I don't need to gather up all the other bit of paper
into a single file to get it organised again.
Ok, that didn't quite make it as clear as I wanted it to but I hope it
illustrates the point I'm trying to make. The root level of the
session array (IMHO) should contain descriptive keys, and I've never
been in a situation where 5318008 is descriptive and gives context to
the data unless you turn it upside down!

By the way: I tried your initial code and I had no problem with the
variable declared after the numeric ones. (your $_SESSION['test']). I
tried on a Version 5.2.5 an Win XP.
That's interesting.
Let's make sure we're talking about the same thing here.
This is the demo:
http://www.webbytedd.com/b2/session-test1/index.php
In my browser Step 1 shows:
SESSION[20] = good morning
SESSION[test2] = good night
In Step 2:
Neither are there.
Is that what you see?
I tried the script from your first example on
http://www.webbytedd.com/b2/session-test/index1.php
I just deleted the header and footer includes and set the error
reporting to E_ALL.
That's what I get:

It probably won't make a difference, but you may try:

echo($i = {$_SESSION[$i]} br/);

Throw the $_SESSION into {}.

Cookies are different for different (sub)domains... so, the browser won't send the session cookie for www.domain.com to dev.domain.com... meaning both subdomains should get different session ids and session files (which cannot clash because the session id is generated randomly using an MD5 hash, right?). I would say the problem is at some point in the IIS-PHP communication.

I don't know if this will be of any help for you, but I'd locate the session files directory (the location can be found in PHP.INI) and delete every file in there, and if possible restart the webserver. Also, there's a debugging tool in the IIS 6.0 resource kit that can be used to log and/or point out problems in the IIS worker processes (can't remember its name, I had to deal with that about two years ago). That will at least give you some use(ful|less) information about which process is faulting, what's the exception and which is the code causing the fault. If there's any fault of course... if it's only a deadlock, it might provide no useful information, because the IIS process would simply be waiting for the session file to be available for read(write).

RE: [PHP] Session problem
By the way... I remember there were to ways of installing PHP over IIS. One was adding it for ALL websites and the other way was adding it on a site by site basis. I'd recommend doing the second method. Notice that this has nothing to do with ISAPI vs CGI, it is just an option in IIS settings (again, I've not seen a Windows 2003 Server since about two years ago, so I don't remember where or how this was accomplished).

Hello to all,

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['counter']=1;

On every refresh the counter is set to 1.
I take it this is not inside a function? have you tried using var_dump()
to output $HTTP_SESSION_VARS?
you may be stuck with doing things the old session_register() way rather than
using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS (or preferably $_SESSION - if you had a version of php
at
your disposal that had that.)
I dont' know, where to search for the reasons.
The server is a normal service providers server. My customers site is
using sessions and they are working on his site.
I would suggest that you go thru his code line by line to figure out
how it works.
also check out this page:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php
given that you want your own session on a specific subpath you will have to
do some more owkr than just start the session.
My script lays in a subdirectory of my costumers site, protected with a
.htaccess.:
The PHP-Version is 4.0.6.
which idiot is setting 4.0.6 as a requirement - its old, has lots of bugs that
have been fixed in more recent versions and is full _known_ security issues
(which have also been fixed) ... upgrade is the sane thing to do.
if there is one other person on this list using 4.0.6 you'll be lucky. all
this means that your going to have a hard time getting things done - bottom line
this costs your customer more (you are passing on the cost right?)
The values for the session-parameters are, as far as I see, standard:
session.save_handler: files
session.save_path: /tmp
Register-globals is set to on.
Has anybody an idea where the problem lays?
Is it possible that I don' have the right to write into the /tmp-directory?
possible but unlikely, given that the main site works. try writing a file to
/tmp.
It would be very nice of you to give me some tips. I don't want to ask
my customer silly questions.
your customer is requiring 4.0.6 - nothing you can ask could be sillier than
that ;-)
(other than maybe asking to downgrade to php3)

Re: [PHP] Session Problem PHP version 4.3.8
Hi James,
Well for what it's worth:
Your code in Test1 sets the paraemters -
if(!$_SESSION['start_time']){
echo(\n Session ResetBR);
$_SESSION['start_time'] = time();
yet when Test2 loads, you haven't called $_SESSION[''start_time'} nor, for
that matter, have you 'saved' it using session_write_close();
Therefore when the Test2 loads, time is not set, so when it returns to Test1
and hits the above condition, it will write a new time, and hence a new
session.
I presume two things; 1. that you have ?php session_start(); ? as opener
lines on each page and 2. that register_globals=off. The last thing caused
all sorts of grief for me last week - messes up sessions if 'on'

YES
These are my current cookie related php.ini settings.
session.use_cookies = 1
; session.use_only_cookies defaults to 0
; session.use_only_cookies = 1
If so, have you tried
without them by appending the session id manually to the links?
I tried that without turning cookies off and appending the SID to the
offending anchor tag (the one with javascript). Nothing I tried worked with
current php.ini settings.
I tried like this:
echo(\n BRBRA
HREF=\javascript:popUpBI('SESSION_TEST2.php?.SID.')\THIS STARTS NEW
SESSION/A);
Which gave me this anchor tag:
A HREF=javascript:popUpBI('SESSION_TEST2.php?')THIS STARTS NEW SESSION/A
And like this:
echo (a href=\javascript:popUpBI('SESSION_TEST2.php?PHPSESSID=.
$_REQUEST['PHPSESSID'].')\THIS STARTS NEW SESSION/A);
Which gave me this anchor tag:
A
HREF=javascript:popUpBI('SESSION_TEST2.php?PHPSESSID=fae0cffb9f6c307e38aef7d2310e1d69')THIS
STARTS NEW SESSION/A
Try these settings:
session.auto_start = 0
session.use_cookies = 0
session.use_trans_sid = 0
Put session_start() at the top of ALL your pages and write your links this
way:
a href=page2.php??php echo SID; ?to page 2 /a
I tried with php.ini settings like you suggested and it didn't work at all.
Whatever you clicked on started a new session. Then I turned
session.use_trans_sid = 1 with auto_start and use_cookies still turned off
and my example code started working!!! My problem is that all my other real
world apps do not work with php.ini settings like that. :(
So it seems that the cookie part of sessions is broken somehow and my earlier
idea of adding something to url_rewrite wouldn't help even if I could figure
out what to add to it. Anyone have any other ideas. Can I upgrade to
something higher than 4.3.8? Would that mean upgrading to 5.x?

Re: [PHP] Session problem
Hi,
session_start has to be the first command this time. try again and the result will
look better, maybe explaining.
so it should look like:
?
session_start();
var_dump(ini_get('variables_order'));
var_dump(isset($_SESSION));
var_dump($_SESSION);

Re: [PHP] Session problem in back button
Seems confusing.
-
//include.php
session_name(sessionname);
session_start();
--
This was added in a separate file and included that file in all the files
including index.php
In index.php I registered a variable s_authed and initialised it to 0
-
//index.php
include include.php;
session_register(s_authed);
$s_authed = 0; // initialize session flag
-
And after sign up I am authenticating the user in a separate file
and setting a flag s_authed to 1
-
//auth.php
if(check for authentication)
{
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['s_authed']=1;
}
-
Now in the main.php
I am checking
-
//main.php
if($s_authed==1)
{
//Display login form code goes here
}
else
{
display authentication required;
}
-
This is working fine. Even when I copy and paste the URL to another browser
it is showing authentication required page.
When I used
if (!isset($_SESSION['sessionname']))
{
//Display login form code goes here
}
in main.php
it is not working. I mean that it display the page even when I copy and
paste URL in a new browser window.
Seems like an essay :)
Why is it so.
Is that my previous method was correct or any mistakes I did?

Subject: [PHP] Session Problem
Hi,
I am getting a weird session problem in my site.
Background of the Problem:
--
My site use sessions for user authentication. Site has a Admin Panel where
admin can search users and then through a link
(which has login and password appended) login as user.
On login as user, session var changes to the new user vars, like user id
etc. So, if some one try to access any thing on
admin panel, they get error which is quite evident why is that happened.
The
login user is not a admin any more, its a normal
user with no privilege.
I came to a conclusion that if I spawn new browser window it takes old
session. After trying for hours, I was able to solve
this. I started a new session when I login as user by setting session name
and storing the other vars. This way I can start
the session as needed.
After solving this problem I thought I am done. But some thing really
weird
popped up. The links on the page, like My
Account, Change Password goes to admin when I click them. This looks
like
on clicking the link, Old admin session becoming
active and showing the page as a admin. I have no idea why is that
happening. I have searched goggle but no result.
Is it a browser issue, or php issue, or I am doing something wrong.
* I have compiled PHP with trans-sid option.
** I store session in my sql database. I can see the user session active.
Ideal Solution:-)
--
When I search the user and login as user. Both admin and user session
remain
alive and I can work on both windows seamlessly.
Can Any one point me in the right direction.
Thanks
This is a problem that many of us have had to deal with.. Session ID's
caching and revalidating when the back button is used or a page is
revisited. The solution is simple. Don't just destroy the Session, also
write over all variables within the session like this..
foreach($_SESSION as $key = $val)
{
$_SESSION[$key] = '';
}
The next time session_start() is called the session file will be emptied.
This will ensure that if you click the back button and the Session ID has
been cached the session file no longer contains any useful data and there is
no possibility that your Login script will revalidate the user.
Quite frankly I wouldn't even bother using session_destroy(). It doesn't
seem to do anything useful.
Good luck,
Kevin

Re: [PHP] Session problem
You need to start the session at the beginning of the script, or use
output buffering.
Either:
?php
session_start();
require(...
...
or
?php
ob_start();
require(...
...
You're trying to output stuff to the screen (which implicitly sends the
headers) then trying to send more headers by calling session_register()
(which implicitly calls session_start() )

Re: [PHP] Session Problem
You don't need to accept cookies for sessions. That's the beauty of it.
PHP automatically appends ?PHPSESSID=$sessid to URLs.
If you do header(Location: abc) however you will need to add the seession ID to the
URL.
You cannot read a session var on the same page that you set it I found.
To get around this I personally register the sessions vars and also set
$_SESSION['whatever'] = 1;
That way the next time I call the function I can still look for it under the same name.
I use a auth.php include file on eachprotected page. It basically looks to see if you
have a session... if not asks you to log in and creates the session for you.
If you have a session it just skips all the checking.
You will have to tweak this... especiallu since I use my own class for db stuff...
but here it is... enjoy.
session_start();
$sessid = session_id();
// DEBUGGING
$debug=false;
if(!(session_is_registered(mysession))){
// Are we coming from the form?
if (isset($authaction) $authaction == 1 ) {
require_once(/lib/util.php);
// Lets clean up the email var
$email = strtolower(trim($_POST['email']));
// Create an SQL object
$sql = new MySQL_class;
$sql-Create(rconline_ca);
// Let see if we have this person as a registered user
$sql-QueryRow(Select unum, pw, cur_member, pref_lang
from user where lower(email) like '$email');
if ($sql-rows == 0) {
ErrorMsg(Incorrect e-mail or password.);
exit();
}
// Compare passwords
$row = $sql-data;
if (strcmp($_POST['pw'], $row['pw']) != 0 ) {
ErrorMsg(Incorrect e-mail or password.);
exit();
}
// Everything matches up lets register our vars
$mysession = array (unum = $row['unum'], email =
$email, lang = $row['pref_lang']);
setcookie (email, , time() - 7776000, /,
.rconline.ca, 0);
setcookie (email, $email, time() + 7776000, /,

session_register(mysession);

Re: [PHP] Session problem
h I dunno why but if I returned $data from my function and registered it
out side the function it works fine and yes my session_start() is above my
function
John
I am having problems with my sessions.
This function registered my username password and userid in the session no
problem.
function login_chk($username, $password){
global $user_id;
$user_res = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM fan_users WHERE name = '$username'
and password ='$password') or die(Line 21 .mysql_error());
$count = mysql_num_rows($user_res);
if($count ==1){
$user_data = mysql_fetch_row($user_res);
$user_id = $user_data[0];
if(!session_is_registered(user_id)) session_register(user_id);
if(!session_is_registered(username)) session_register(username);
if(!session_is_registered(password)) session_register(password);
$ok = 2;
}
else $ok =1;
return $ok;
}//E-OF login_chk()
But this function will not register the details in the session. It
registeres the variable but puts an ! before it.
function get_data($user_id){
global $user_id;
$data_res = mysql_query(SELECT t.*, l.* FROM fan_teams as t, fan_league
as
l WHERE t.league_id = l.lid AND user_id =$user_id) or die(Line 93
.mysql_error());
$count = mysql_num_rows($data_res);
if($count != 1){
setup_team_html($user_id);
exit();
}
else{
$data = mysql_fetch_row($data_res);
if(!session_is_registered(data)) session_register(data);
}
}//E-OF get_data($user_id)
The $data array is definatly an array as I have done foreach echo tests
and
it dumps the information i am needing. but it won't put it in the session.
Would it have anything to do with me testing it on my windoze box?

I think this one worked because

$user_id = $user_data[0]; // --- of this

$ok = 2;

The way you did here is kind of different from the above.
else{
$data = mysql_fetch_row($data_res);
if(!session_is_registered(data)) session_register(data); //

}
}//E-OF get_data($user_id)
The $data array is definatly an array as I have done foreach echo tests

session.
*The reason _I think_ is because:

Note: It is not currently possible to register resource variables in a
session. For example, you can not create a connection to a database and
store the connection id as a session variable and expect the connection to
still be valid the next time the session is restored. PHP functions that
return a resource are identified by having a return type of resource in
their function definitions. A list of functions that return resources are
available in the resource types appendix.

The message means that that your script produced some output before the session_start. You have to use session_start before any output.

Re: [PHP] session problem
What do you mean : session persist?
Whe you close the browser the file(the most common case) is not deleted till the
session expires.
So if the expire time is 30 min it will stay in the /tmp for minimum 30 mins(the
session garbage collector is not started on
every request). The cookie which is the session_id(PHPSESSID) is set to be valid till
the browser is closed. After browser closing
it is no valid for the browser.

Win2k is the same as NT and does, indeed, have permissions. Very different from *nix permissions but they do exist.

Re: [PHP] session problem Warning: open(/tmp\sess_..., O_RDWR) failed: m (2)
Seems that I had a few php.ini files finally found the right one and changed the path in it and deleted the others.

RE: [PHP] Session problem
Nope. That is just the problem. session_destroy() only destroys the data inside the session. Not the id. But i actually solved it now. I am using the same algorithm as php itself to create a new id everytime the page is loaded: session_id( md5( uniqid( , 1 ) ) ); session_start(); - Daniel -Original Message- From: R'twick Niceorgaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: den 16 november 2001 15:40 To: Daniel Alsén Subject: Re: [PHP] Session problem I think you can set a new session id using session_start() so if you need a new id just destroy the old one using session_destroy() then call sessio_start(your new id) and that should work fine now. - Original Message - From: Daniel Alsén [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 9:05 AM Subject: [PHP] Session problem Hi, i am writing a simple postcard-script. I use php 4 sessions and stores the data in MySql with the sessionid as a unique id for the card. The problem is - i can´t send more than one card with the same id. I can´t find any way to get a new session id without closing the browser. In the manual there only seems to be functions to unset or unregister the actual data inside the session - not the id itself. Any ideas?

Subject: [PHP] Session Problem
I can't get session variables to work
I know this has been done to death in the past, but I've looked on php.net,
and google for a solution, have tried the suggestions, and seem to fix it.
My php session settings are as follows:
NameLocal Global settings
session.auto_start Off Off
session.cache_expire180 180
session.cache_limiter nocache nocache
session.cookie_domain no valueno value
session.cookie_lifetime 0 0
session.cookie_path / /
session.entropy_fileno valueno value
session.entropy_length 0 0
session.gc_maxlifetime 14401440
session.gc_probability 1 1
session.namePHPSESSID PHPSESSID
session.referer_check no valueno value
session.save_handlerfiles files
session.save_path /tmp/tmp
session.serialize_handler php php
session.use_cookies On On
The code I'm using to test is as follows:
?php
session_start();
echo COUNT{$count};
if (!isset($count)) {
echo registering session;
session_register($count);
$count=1;
}
else {
$count++;
echo $count;
}
?
The output is as follows:
COUNTregistering session
Refreshing shows the same output
My /tmp directory exists and has the following permissions.
drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 4096 Aug 24 10:40 tmp
What should I be looking for?
