Problems with Registering Multiple sess.

[Anon]

Hi.

I have a user logged in and their userid has been successfully registered into the session.

Then later in the same php page, I wanted to extract some more values from the database and register these too in the session. But the actual session file only registers blanks! Here is the contents of the sess_ file:

my_session_variable|s:6:"awasti";!supid|!uname|

As can be seen, the 'my_session_variable' variable is successfully set, but the 'supid' and 'uname' are empty, even though they DO have values assigned to them. I also don't know what the ! (bang) is for.

ANY help will be greatly appreciated 🙂
Thanx.

hello
are you trying to create multiple sessions or just assigning multiple session variables?
you cannot create multiple sessions!

what you need to do is to register the variables using session_register() after you start a session. then later you can assign values to them.
example:
session_start();
session_register("$var");
........
$var="al";

I am doing the same (php 4.02) and it works.
