Session problems, register_globals off

[Anon]

Hello!

I've spent a lot of time to set any session variable where register_globals option in php.ini is Off, and there was no positive results.

Code:

$user = $s_user;
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user"] = $s_user;
session_register("user");
header("Location: main.php");
exit;

executes, but in main.php, value of $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user"] is "".

Any ideas?
Thanks for help.

I am not positive on this... but why not try this.

$user = $s_user;
session_register("user");
header("Location: main.php");
exit;

then at the beginning of the main.php page you want to call the session variable.

$s_user = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS('user');

Hope this helps

Do you use session_start() before checking the contents of $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[ ] in main.php?

Nope

Yes, I do:

<?
require('library.php');
session_start();

if ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user"] == "") {
header("Location: gotologin.html?empty=1");
exit;
}

if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user"])) {
header("Location: gotologin.html?set=1");
exit;
}

page_header();

Always, when register_globals is set Off, pages redirect to gotologin.html
