Objects within sessions

Anon

Hello,

i've jused the article about sessions on this site, it helped me a lot.

My problem is only, i can't register an object as a session var. Well, ik can register it but on the next screen i can't call the data saved into the object 🙁

This is my piece of code:

session_start();
class auth_user {
var $naam;
var $achternaam;
var $_email;

    function register($_naam,$_achternaam,$_email) { 
        $this->naam= $_naam; 
        $this->achternaam= $_achternaam; 
		$this->email= $_email;
    } 

	function getName(){
		return $this->naam;
	}
}

$user = new auth_user;
$user->register($naam,$achternaam,$_email);

session_register("user");

then on the other page, i recall the session var's:

session_start();

$user= $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[suser];

but in this way, i can't recall the data saved into the object 🙁
This:
$user->naam;
doesn't work. Does anyone knows how i can make this work/what i'm doint wrong??

The other page must contain a class definition of your object. Otherwise it doesn't work.

What do you mean with "class definition"??

I could include the class of my object?

class auth_user {
var $naam;
var $achternaam;
var $_email;

    function register($_naam,$_achternaam,$_email) { 
        $this->naam= $_naam; 
        $this->achternaam= $_achternaam; 
		$this->email= $_email;
    } 

	function getName(){
		return $this->naam;
	}
}

in both files or...?!

Sure, it's the class definition. It should be in both files.

i included the class on both files. But...i get this error:

-----Fatal error: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition auth_user of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded before the session was started in c:\program files\nusphere\apache\htdocs\test\objects2.php on line 10

do you know what it means? It's got something to do with the session_start() i think.

zhabala

Of course, the class definition should be stated before the session_start() statement. It should be executed sooner to be sure that session_start can restore the object just by the definition.
