sessions in php4

Anon

Hi, brothers in php.
I'm using the new session library of php4 and I need to make something like that:

session_register("$name");

I've put it in a function, then I need to define $$name like a global variable, but it fails.
I'm clueless about how to make that variable variables be global.
Send me any ideas you have about my problem.
Thanks.

Salzaru,

When you call session_register, there is no need to use a $ in front of the variable name(s).

For example,

session_register("name", "other_var");

You should also check out the documentation in the php manual on sessions:

http://www.zend.com/manual/ref.session.php

Good luck!

I've defined the variable:

function sdf ($quant, $id){

global $$name;
....

$name = "quantity" . $id;
$$name = $quant;
session_register("$name");

....
}

For instance:
I need to pass the value $quant to the variable $quantity1, then I need a double variable.

I have to write session_register("$name");
to make it works. But the function not take $$name like global.
Do you understand this mess?
