Re: [PHP] Sessions vs passing variables
Right, I understand I should be able to access them. That's the whole problem. They're not there. I can do one of two things and they magically become available: 1. Don't start the session. 2. Use single variables, not arrays. #2, however, would create a problem in that I intend to set it up that a person can have more than one item in their shopping cart. This hoses that, as I was planning on having the product ids passed as hidden fields so as not to have to rely on the session functions to keep items in the shopping cart.

Re: [PHP] Sessions vs passing variables
I'm on a server with php version 4.2.1 with register globals on. The main test has been can I access the variables in the script? Oddly enough, if I didn't use an array they are there for me. Turns out it's only when I'm trying to pass an array. Single variables works fine. I'm beginning to think it's a bug.

RE: [PHP] Sessions vs passing variables
How are you testing whether the variables were passed or not? What version of PHP are you using and is register_globals ON or OFF? ---John Holmes... > -Original Message- > From: Mike Mannakee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2002 10:57 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Sessions vs passing variables > > No, > > The strange thing is there isn't.

Re: [PHP] Sessions vs passing variables
No, The strange thing is there isn't. I have a test page that links to the order form, having this html: Order I've tried it here as both a link and as hidden forms. Neither on works if I begin the script with: if(!(session_id())) session_start(); I've actually figured a bit of a workaround by having the session begun on earlier pages, and just continued on the order form. I think when a session is begun the server sends a cookie to the browser, and somehow that transaction wipes out the variables, whether posted or passed by URL. It's a bit of a pain but it seems to be working. I'm just now slightly nervous that the order form is unable to begin a session if it needs to, but one lives, right?

If register_globals is on, the session value could be overwriting the GET value. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Sessions vs passing variables
When I try to pass a variable from one page to another the variable is completely inaccessible IF I have a session going. The data has to be passed from one page to the next through the link, as the link tells which product the user hit. Any thoughts?
