session variable problem

[Anon]

Hi,
I am registering an array variable with the session to hold objects of a user defined class. I have 3 pages genereated by f1, f2 and f3 - the corresponding php files. I am doing a session_register($m_ses_array) in f1. In f2, this array is populated with objects.
When I try and access this arrray in f3 the problem I face is it is empty and does not have any elements.

i worked around this and passed the array as a parameter to the function handling it in f3 :

f3
<?
$temp = $m_ses_array;
$m_ses_htmlwriter->displayArrayVals($temp);

?>

This works fine but when I try and access the object methods inside the displayArrayVals( ) function :

function displayArrayVals($temp)
{
......
for($p=0;$p<count($temp);$p++)
{
// array contains objects of class DSTPUck
echo ("val for element $p is " . $temp[$p]->m_name);
}
.......
}

I get the following error:
Fatal error: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition dstpuck of the object you are trying to operate on was
loaded before the session was started in /www/htdocs/rajiv/project/php/html/DSTPHTMLWriter.php on line 436

any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been struggling with this for a while now!

..... from what I can see this seems to be a similar problem to the one I'm having (although more involved) it seems to me that session_register() just doesn't work from within an object - or have I got the wrong end of the stick??

..well I am not sure about that since I havent tried using session_register from within an object. But I seem to be stuck at a more basic level where the session variable seems to lose its contents across pages in the same session! any idea why??
