sessions & user-defined functions..

Anon

Hello..

I seem to have the following problem: I recently added session handling to the site I am working on. It worked beautifully until I inserted the session_start() into the pages on which I had a user defined funtion.

The error I get now is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: newprod() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/faq/faq_add_prod.php on line 14

I made sure my brackets were all closed off (because I have an if coupled with my session_start). Any suggestions? Thanks..

Are you passing any kind of headers from the function. If you are you will need to move the session_start() before the headers. Else can you paste your code till the line it bombs ?

I know that session_start() goes before the headers (methinks php.net was clear enough about that, hehe). At any rate, everytime I use the session_start, I make sure that it's the very first line after <?php.

This is the first few lines of my code. (I moved it up a bit, so the error is no longer at line 14.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: newprod() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/faq/faq_add_prod.php on line 6

2- session_start();
3- if (session_is_registered($username) && session_is_registered($password)) {
4-
5- if (!$newcat) {
6- newprod();
7- } else {
8- applyadd($newprod,$newcat,$cat_id,$newcatname1,$newcatname2,$newcat_id,$catname);
9- }

Hope it helps.

where exactly is newprod() defined?
is it include()'d somewhere at the top? that error may mean that there is a parse error in your include file.

you may try moving the function into the same file and get rid of the includes and put it in a test page to see where the error is..

good luck

The function is defined in the same page. It worked beautifully, but went bonkers as soon as I implemented session handling.

I know the code in the function is fine. I\'ve checked to see whether all the curly brackets were closed, that\'s good as well. It just, for some reason, refuses to acknowledge the fact that I did define newprod()..

Looking again, this line is suspect:

if (session_is_registered($username) && session_is_registered($password))

this function takes a STRING as a parameter, not a variable (confusing, i know). The same goes w/ session_register()

so it would follow that
session_start();
session_register("username");

$username = "preagan";

if (session_is_registered("username"))
{
print "registered";
}

hth some..

Actually... That wasn't the problem...
instead of ending my if (session_is_registered(bakljsfds)) etc. after my second if statement (the one that had the functions) .. i tried to end it at the end of the function definitions..

It works fine now.
Thanks though!
