Sessions

[Anon]

I'm running Apache1.3.19+PHP4.06+Win98. I'm trying to add session mgmt to my programs. My code is as follows:

<?
session_start();
echo session_id();
?>

First time into the script, a session is created as expected. However, if I refresh this page, I get a new session id. If I refresh again, the second session id is displayed, therefore session mgmt is working as expected. Is this a normal behavior? The reason for this is I'm also building a cleanup routine. Please explaing if anyone can.

TIA,
Allen

Try this:

<?php

session_start();
session_register("cnt");
++$cnt;
printf('You have viewed %s times. <a href="%s.php?PHPSESSID=%s">Continue</a>', $cnt, $PHP_SELF, session_id());

?>

Good example that is pretty simple.

Thanks Ceph. This works fine on my Linux box at home. I'll try this test code at work tomorrow on a Windows 98 machine to see if it yields the same result.

BTW, code correction in the example.

<?php

session_start();
session_register("cnt");
++$cnt;
printf('You have viewed %s times. <a href="%s?PHPSESSID=%s">Continue</a>', $cnt, $PHP_SELF, session_id());

?>
