newbie problems with session

[Anon]

Hi everybody,
I've already tried to get help here in the forum but not successfully.
I'm trying to explain you again my difficulties, hoping to give you more meanly information than last time.

I've got two pages:
1) authentication.php
2) test.php

AUTHENTICATION.PHP

[...]

<?
session_start();

$success = session_register("AUTENTICATO");

if ($success == false or $success == "")
{

[...]  // Code to intercept the error

}
else

{
$AUTENTICATO = false;

[...] // instructions to set AUTENTICATO to true or false (it choose checking 2 "form variables"

}

?>

<SCRIPT>
document.location.href = 'menu.php';
</SCRIPT>

^{^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^}
Script to redirect to TEST page

TEST.PHP

<?
session_start();
echo "REGISTERED? ";
echo session_is_registered("AUTENTICATO");
echo "CAN USER ENTER? ".$AUTENTICATO;
?>

I need third line to check if the variable is registered.
I need fourth line to check the value inside $AUTENTICATO.

---

If it can help you to understand the problem, I post here the of a session file, created automatically by PHP using the pages I post you:

AUTENTICATO|b:1;

^{^^^^^^^}
|||||||||||||||||

This is the only line inside the session file.

I need all your help!! PLEASE!! 🙂

Thanks!
Gianluca.

okay, well first of all the line:

if ($success == false or $success == "")

can be this:

if(!$success)

now, i think i understand what you are asking so i will give it a shot. you want to check if the variable is registered. so just do something like this:

$check = session_is_registered("AUTENTICATO");

then use in if statement to determine if the variable is registered in the session:

if(!$check)
echo "not registered";
else
echo "registered";

now, to check the value i assume you are comparing it to another value. so just go:

if($AUTHENTICATO == $variable)
echo "they match";
else
echo "they don't match";

i don't know if that helps you out at all. i am not sure i even really understand the problem but i hope it helps some.

$success = session_register("AUTENTICATO");

if ($success == false or $success == "")
{

[...] // Code to intercept the error

}
else
{

$AUTENTICATO = false;

instead of $AUTHENTICATO = false/success;
try:

if ($success == "true") {
$AUTHENTICATO["status"] = "true";
} else {
$AUTHENTICATO["status"] = "false";
}

I thank you for suggests, but those are not problems for me.
The real problem is my code works sometime!
And then it stops to work. I delete the browser cache and sometime come back to work, other times it continues to not work.
Any other idea?
Thx,
Gianluca
