SESSION ID in the URL

[Anon]

Hi,
I wan't to pass the SESSION ID in the URL but have problems in finding clear explanations how to.
Yes, I have read the manual but I would like better explanations and some code examples.
I'm building some database connected webpages and need to be sure that everyone with access rights and with or without cookies enabled can log in.
Does anyone have some code examples or some tips on where to find more information?

Thanks for all help.

Mitz.

Buy "SAMS Teach Yourself PHP4 in 24 hours." Read the whole book and then start coding the example. It's a great starter book.

Dear Mitz,

Instead of claiming you've read the manual, you should simply do read it.

As to your questions, you may employ sophisticated algorithms or just hack your way through PHP's string manipulation functions.

But in my opinion, the best way to go would be reading PHP's <a href="http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/ref.session.php">Session handling functions</a> in the <a href="http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/">manual</a>.

<?
//All of this code should be before any HTML, and preferably at the beginning at a file

// This starts a session with the user
start_session();

// Register whatever variables you want to use in the whole session
register('variable1');
register('variable2');

?>

Then use $variable1 and $variable2 later in your script like a normal variable.

If you want to use them in another script, put a session_start() at the beginning of the other script, and the variables you registered and manipulated in the first one will be available.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

I finally got my code to work. I had my session_start() inside a function earlier. There was the error that made my code fail.
