Session_register problem

[nicolam1]

Ok I'll try my best what I'm doing

I have 2 page page1 and page2
in page1 I create a variable that is an instance of an object called user
user is a stupid object to hold 2 values name and loggedin no methods nothing .

so in page1 I do:

include("php/user.inc");
$user=new user("theuser",true,1);
session_register($user);
rest of the page here.....

in page2 I do:

include("php/user.inc");
session_register("user");
echo($user->name);

from page one I have a link to page2 and from page2 I have a link back to page1

here what's happening
the first time I go from page1 to page2
the $user->name is empty so I click back to page1 and $user->name is there I go back to page2 and guess what the $user->name is there.
why the first time I go from page1 to page2 is not $user->name is not there ?

Am I doing something totally wrong?

thank you

What method do you use to propagate the sessionid?

I'm not a good PHP-Programmer Just started to read, but i think the failure is
in session_register($user)(PAGE1) you register the content of user and not the variable user isnt it ?
In page 2 its ok.

The error you're doing is simply this - In page1 you try to register your user object through: session_register($user);
and in page2 you use: session_register("user");

Well. If you've read up on sessions you should know that the function 'session_register()' takes the NAME of the variable as a parameter, not the variable itself. So on page1 when you try to send $user as a parameter, it won't work, but on page2 you use 'user' as a parameter... I'd guess that you've simply not looked over your code thoroughly enough before crying out for help :-)
