True. You've just learned a valuable lesson: You should only ever
call session_start() in one place. Typically, people it put it some
file named something like "config.php", that gets included by every
other page in the application.
This should work nicely, unless you need to share session data with
your colleage's appication.
No, we need to not share data with each other -- if you're
submitting assignments in ITE 101, you don't want to accidentally
overwrite what you already submitted for CSC 101, for example.
True enough.
However, a global find/replace to replace $_SESSION with
$_SESSION['someKey'] will probably do the trick, and not be too
painful.
Yeah, I can do that with find, xargs, and sed. Thanks for the advice.
That's probably how I would do it.
I suggest you do *both*. If you're repeating configuration stuff
(session_start()) all over the place, you should be refactoring anyway.
Doing some fake namespacing in $_SESSION is a good idea, too.
I'd do both, but I'd refactor all of your configuration/bootstrapping
first.
