IT is a <b>BIG</b> probleom

[reichtiger]

I find that the PHP404pl1installer.exe setup the php+Apache entironment very well, but the session works not good as before version of php4.

The sess.php is :
<?php
if($action=="postout")
{
if(trim($name)=="" || trim($pwd)=="")
{
print "wrong enter";
}
else
{
$lines=file("reg.txt");
$shu=count($lines);
for($i =0; $i<=$shu ;$i++)
{
$rm=split("&&",$lines[$i],99);
if($rm[0]!=$name || $rm[1]!=$pwd)
{
print "too bad£¡£¡";
exit;
}
else
{
session_start();
session_register("nam");
session_register("pw");
$nam=$name;$pw=$pwd;
print "welcome,,".$nam."¡£and press hyperlink below <br>";
print "<a href='sess2.php'>test session</a>";
break;
}
}

}

}
else
{
?><center>
<form action="sess.php?action=postout" method="post">
ID<input name=name><br>
password<input name=pwd><br>
<input type=submit name=submit value="enter"> <input type=reset value="reset"></form></center>
<?php
}
?>

and the sess2.php is:
<?php
session_start();
if($nam!="" && $pw!="")
{
print $nam."nice to meet you?";
}
else
{
print "illegal user";
}
?>

it should be two session id when you post .php two times,but there is only one !I run the programm before in PHP4 ,not this version.it run very nice.What happened in this version?I don't know,please help me,thank you!!

I am a Chinese boy.I run the programm in win98+apache1_3_12+php404pl1 and Redhat

i am a white boy; i hope that doesn't matter.

anyways, session variables are alive as long as the browser is. if you want to create a different session id, you need to destroy the current ones. here is how i do it:

---

// logout.php
include("../functions.inc");
session_name("User_Session");
session_start(); // this is the session that has been alive throughout

if ( $do == "logout" ) { // let's log the current user out

  $arrSessions=$HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
  session_destroy();
  foreach ($arrSessions as $session_name => $session_value) {
  unset($$session_name);
  }
  unset($arrSessions);
 $redirect = "http://www.fandelem.com/images/"; // this is the location after users logout.

 // clearing cookies
 $id = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['id'];
 clear_cookie($id);
 // redirecting
 header("location: $redirect");

}

---

just make this a function (don't forget to globalize HTTP_COOKIE_VARS) and call it before you want another sessionID.
