RE: [PHP] I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS
Hi Kirk,
I'm not sure that's how it is supposed to work. I really think that this is
a PHP bug. I had to turn register globals back on in order to get my code
working again. I thought you're supposed to be able to simply declare a
variable, do a session_register on it, and then access it on subsequent
pages using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. I'm going to keep register globals on for
now I think. Thanks for your help!
Mike
Mike, my experiments suggest you can also get rid of the session_register()
statement. Seems that simply assigning to $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[my_session_var]
is enough.

YES! That's what it was. You rule man. Why would
session_start need to come
before the global variable declaration? You'd think
session_start would need
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS declared beforehand to load the session
variables into?
Thanks,
Mike
OK, try this. The session_start() has to come before the
global statement:
?php
function write_session()
{
session_start();
global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[my_session_var] = "Boogedy Boogedy";
session_register($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["my_session_var"]);
}
write_session();
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['my_session_var'];

Try as below. Note both the global and the session_register statements.

session_start();
$my_session_var = "Blah blah";

Re: [PHP] I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS
Maybe I should just go back to using globals then. What does everyone else do
normally? Globals or use the track_vars? I can't get these things working at
all.

Re: [PHP] I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS
Hi, The default php setting is with track vars on, and register globals on I believe. I have never tried anything else. I turned globals off to see if I could help you with your problem. If you check the manual, they do not put much explanation into how to use sessions with globals off, though I have read that some webservers may have globals turned off. -- 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]
