Session-Handling

[Anon]

Hi,
i have problems with the new session-handling in php4.
It works only with some strange behavior.
Here is a little sample code to test the sessions.

<?php
session_start();

if(!$PHPSESSID) {
	print "Session not registered<br>";
	$id = session_id();
	print "Session-id: $id<br>";
	$count = 0;
	session_register("count");
}
else { 
	if (!session_is_registered("count")) {
		print "Session registered<br>";
		session_id($PHPSESSID);
		$id = session_id();
		print "Session-id: $id<br>";
		session_register("count");
	} 
	else {
		print "Count registered";
	}	

}
$count++;
?>

I configured php4 like this:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-discard-
path --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-trans-sid --enable-track-vars --enable-shared --disa
ble-static --enable-versioning --without-gd

Ok then load the page and get something like this:
Session not registered
Session-id: 1d53a7a7d30b4b7a2a8ff4b49b5e4d72
Hello visitor, you have seen this page 1 times.

is necessary to preserve the session id # in the case that the user has disabled cookies ?> To continue, click here

Next click on the link i get:
Session registered
Session-id: 1d53a7a7d30b4b7a2a8ff4b49b5e4d72
Hello visitor, you have seen this page 1 times.

is necessary to preserve the session id # in the case that the user has disabled cookies ?> To continue, click here

and finally when i click the link again i get this:
Count registered Hello visitor, you have seen this page 2 times.

is necessary to preserve the session id # in the case that the user has disabled cookies ?> To continue, click here

From this time on it will count.

Where is the problem ????

Hi,
sorry i forgot something from the code

just insert at the end of code:

Hello visitor, you have seen this page <? echo $count; ?> times.<p>

<?

the <?=SID?> is necessary to preserve the session id

in the case that the user has disabled cookies

?>

To continue, <A HREF="session3.php">click here</A>

I've put this on my page and it works. Not very different from yours I guess:

---

<?php
session_start();

if(!$PHPSESSID) {
print "Session not registered<br>";
$id = session_id();
print "Session-id: $id<br>";
$count = 0;
session_register("count");
}
else {
if (!session_is_registered("count")) {
print "Session registered<br>";
session_id($PHPSESSID);
$id = session_id();
print "Session-id: $id<br>";
session_register("count");
}
else {
print "Count registered";
print "<br>You've seen this page $count times.";
}
}
$count++;
?>

---

I think you put the argument <? echo $count; ?> at the wrong place.

Hope this helps.

Slee.

I didn't change anything, still same problem. I have count it with one click delay. I also tried it to split up the thing in two files, there is still this one click delay.

I think it would some thing of configuration-problem, this problem is in php 4.0.0 and php 4.0.1.

Maybe someone has some clou for the configuration ???

I have PHP 4.0.1 pl2, with session support enabled.
Look at your phpversion(); to see if you enabled sessions.
