[PHP] Session help!?
Hey, I have a site where I am using session_start() at the beginning of each page. The session id is passed transparently from the first page but after that it dissapears from the links and I lose all my session variables. Is there something elementary I'm missing? This is my first stab at PHP so I could be overlooking something really obvious or not really understanding how its supposed to work. The trans_id thingy is enabled by the way.

I don't know if this is fixed under SP2. Example: a domain name http://my-domain.com will cause I.E. to lose sessions; however, there is a way around this if your are developing this for an internal website, you can simply add a host file record to utilize the actual IP. Example: http://my-domain.com225.225.225.1 If your client's browser is not I.E. then make sure all of your php.ini variables are as they need to be regarding sessions.

[PHP] Session help please?
Probably a stupid question. I figured I could do something like $_SESSION['test'] = 5 and refer to $test on other pages however I cannot. The reason I thought I could do this is because I can do $_SESSION['test'] = $_POST['test'] and be able to refer to just $test on other pages. Is the correct way to do this to make sure that I have somewhere session_register['test'] Thanks! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This is because you probably have register_globals enabled, so the value of test in the user POST request is available to you as both: $_POST['test'] and $test It has nothing to do with you also setting $_SESSION['test'].

RE: [PHP] Session Help
This is such an annoying thing. And it seems as though no one is willing to cover it in any manual, book or tutorial. Apparently the problem is that PHP sessions automatically set the no-cache header. So at the top of each script, after the session_start() function set header(Cache-Control: public); That will the trick. Actually it may work too well but at least your visitors won't get discouraged by that annoying message. -- Kevin Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Michael: Dave II, Electric Boogaloo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 3:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Session Help I'm having a little problem with my sessions on a website I'm programming for.

[PHP] Session Help
I am trying to set my session data to be stored in MySQL so I am using session_set_save_handler() which sets the six user-level session storage functions (which I have already defined). Will session_set_save_handler automatically run the appropiate storage function when required (like when i say session_register(Variable)) --OR-- do I specifically have to run that function (mysql_sessions_write(SID,$Value)) from my script when I want to save info to the session table? I would appreciate any scripts anyone might have that would illustrate how this works, the PHP manual and online examples I have found just are not cutting it. Thank you.

Re: [PHP] Session Help
PHP automatically calls the appropiate function instead if you. But consider that the save handler is not called on individual session_register functions, only when all output is gone, and the whole session - each registered variable - must be saved. manual Note: The write handler is not executed until after the output stream is closed. Thus, output from debugging statements in the write handler will never be seen in the browser. If debugging output is necessary, it is suggested that the debug output be written to a file instead. /manual - Original Message - From: phantom [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 10:10 AM Subject: [PHP] Session Help | I am trying to set my session data to be stored in MySQL so I am using | session_set_save_handler() which sets the six user-level session storage | functions (which I have already defined). | | Will session_set_save_handler automatically run the appropiate storage | function when required (like when i say session_register(Variable)) | --OR-- do I specifically have to run that function | (mysql_sessions_write(SID,$Value)) from my script when I want to save | info to the session table? | | I would appreciate any scripts anyone might have that would illustrate | how this works, the PHP manual and online examples I have found just are | not cutting it. | | Thank you.

Hi, i am using sessions for a web application and was wondering whether it's possible to set the gc_probablity to 1%. I tried with a value of 0.25 but it appears that the gc callback function still runs at 1%. I figure that the value is an integer and rounds up the values but if someone can tell me different.. thanks, jeff -- 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] Session Help for newbie plz
I am looking for help with session handling.
I have modified Joe Jarosciak`s password script slightly, so that instead of
logging in to d/l files, you login to one or two secure area`s. (depending
on the access level of password used)
How and where can i modify this more, so that a session will be created, and
the logged-in users data will be passed over to the two secure area`s??
e.g. pass the login information to the two secure area pages, so they can
evaluate if the user is allowed to view them or not!
Heres the sript so far:

[PHP] Session Help (transparent sid's)
Hello, Can someone please help? My ISP has recompiled php with the transparent sid support and now when i try to access a certain page for the first time (ie. no cookie yet set) then php is making a right mess of my javascript and html (adding speech marks and question marks in unwanted places) ! Is there a way to override this behaviour in the ini file, or even in the code? One of my customers sites is down because of this, and i can find nothing through searching 8( Thanks guys, Jamie Burns.
