Session in PHP 4!!!

Anon

Hi,

I trying to use session's in a script, but I don't know whi I do to set a value for a registed Session var. For example:

session_register("nick");

How to set a value "Fábio" for this var??? I use:

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["nick"] = "Fábio";

But I can't rescue this value in other pages of my site. HELPME Please!!!

Thanks,
Fábio

Because first use session_register function you must use session_start() function for inizialize the session ok?

sorry for my english but i am an italian boy

This works easier with GPC globals on. The $nick variable should be declared, not within the HTTP_SESSION_VARS. So

$nick = "Fabio";
session_register("nick");

would do the trick when you access it from another page:

session_start();
// With GPC globals
echo $nick;
// OR without
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["nick"];

Hope this helps 🙂

Look my code:

---- Script 1 ----

session_start();
session_register("nick");
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["nick"] = "Fábio";
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["nick"]; // return Fábio

---- End ----

---- Script 2 ----

session_start();
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["nick"]; // don't return nothing

---- End ----

Where is the problem???

Thanks,

you need to put a

session_register("nick");

in the second script after session_start .

Hope that helps,

Joshua answered your question. Change this:

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["nick"] = "Fabio";

to:

$nick="Fabio";

in your first script.

That's not it.

Fabio, you have to make sure that the sesionid is sent from the first page to the next.

put something like this in the first script:
echo "<a href=secondscript.php?PHPSESSID=".session_id().">klik here</a>";

Otherwise, when you load the second script, a new session will be started.
