Session Help

Anon

K, my login script is in my earlier post, Header Help. It's on the same page.

I need to start a session so ppl can access my site.

I need someone to explain to me how to start one, and what I should session_register()...

Also, how can I check to see if a person is logged in? Like

if ($Loggedin == "yes")
{
$LI =
"
Logged In: 
$Array[Username] 
$Array[Country] 
$Array[Rank] 
$Array[Money]c 

";
}
else
{
$LI =
"
Not Logged In: 
";
}

ok first off go here http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php its a good reference on how to use sessions. i will also explain briefly on how it works too. first off you start your line of code with session_start(), this initializes the session or creates a new session. then when ever you want to add a variable to be used through out the pages you would do a session_register("varname") no $ in front of it. then you can set the varname something like $varname=blah and that would set the variable to blah which it could be used in subsequent pages. now on the part about checking if someone is logged in. you can just do if(isset($varname){foobar}, that checks if varname is set. another way and a more secure way is to check through the global session vars which is $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["varname"]. but just goto the link and read up on it. also check out some sites that tell you about session management they help or authenications systems with sessions. hope this helps
