I'm going nuts, please help

I think that I have session variables licked but something irks me: do I really have to put session_start on every page that I want to use session variables on? It seems a bit counter intuitive.....

Anon

nope. Why not create a function to initialize all your pages instead? You could include headers etc. there too.

Tom:

I'm pretty new, any chance you could point me in the right direction?

Anon

function commonheader() {
session_start();
header("Free Kevin");
}

but isn't there a 'auto start session' flag in php.ini?

Anon

I think that there is a variable by that name in php.ini. The reason that I ask is that I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to refit all of my exititing .html files with some php script and not have to rename them all .php. 'Cause if you don't, it won't execute the php script at the top or if it does, it doesn't seem to work. Guess I'm not suprised....🙂

Great News Andy (if you use CuteFTP).

CuteFTP has file renaming feature that will change the file extensions of of the files you are uploading. It even does this batch mode.

                Dear PHP Wizards, 

                  I am looking for the example for the " PHP codes " for reading,
                  writing, editing and deleting the appointment calendar. 

                  1) I should be able to write into the diary selecting the date and
                  particular time of the day. 

                  2) The display should be weekwise, while able to shift from one week to
                  another and know which day has the appointment written on it with
                  indication of whether it is in morning or noon ar afternoon. 

                  3) There should be no clashes of the appointments on the same time. 

                  4)Allow notes to be added to an appointment using file upload. 

                  Please send me the URLs " also " where i can see some example of
                  similar nature. 

                  Thanks 


                  -Martha

<?php
//this is the master page

include(\"headers.html\"); //optional
include(\"page1.html\");
include(\"footers.html\"); //optional

If you have any <?php ?> tags in those HTML files, they WILL get parsed if you include them like this. However, this means that you\'ll either have to create a separate PHP file for every HTML file, or that you\'ll have to complicate things by having a master PHP controller file that serves up the HTML files specified in the url, like
http://www.foo.com/serve.php?page=page1.html
.

You don\'t have to rename all your files to PHP, however, this would by far be the easiest way. Why don\'t you want to do it? All it would take would be a batch renaming and then a batch find-and-replace for \".html\" to \".php\".
A shell script could easily do this for you, and I believe something like it already comes with the PHP distribution (at least for linux), called extchg.sh.
