Classes for environment access

IceD

After long discussion in the Newbies forum about session variables issues, I've created some classes for access POST/GET/COOKIE/SESSION variables (see gpcs.zip - they don't allow to attach .tar.bz2 🙁 - in the attachment). They should work on every version of PHP 4.0.0+ with all combination of register_globals, track_vars and magic_quotes_gpc.

PS. I haven't complete full check, so bugs are possible... 😉
PPS. I've add set/remove methods in the POST/GET classes. They are useful in some cases like this:

$get->set("the_date", strtotime($get->get("the_date")));

Excellent class!! Using it right now. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on PHP 4.0.6. Works great on version 4.1.2. I didn't test it on any other versions. If you can somehow fix it to work with all versions, I would be pleased.

Here's how I tested it.

Page 1
<?
include "session.php";
$session = new csession("login");
$session->start;
$hash = session_id();
print $hash;
$login = "Variable has been session registered and passed";
$session->set(login, "test");
print "<a href=\"page2.php?$hash\">test</a>";
?>

Page 2
<?
include "session.php";
$get = new csession;
$get->is_set($login);
$get->get($login);
print $login;
print session_id();
$get->remove($login);
?>

Works with php 4.1.2, but not 4.0.6 🙁

Any ideas?

IceD

Yup. See the source code for session.php 😉 Seriously, here are corrected page1.php and page2.php

page1.php

<?php

include_once("session.php");
$session->set("login", "test");

?>

<a href="page2.php">test</a>

page2.php

<?php

include_once("session.php");
echo $session->get("login");

?>

That's all 🙂

I used exactly what you typed, and it didn't work on my local php 4.0.6 server. The server is a standard red hat linux 7.2 install, not windows.

Worked fine in php 4.1.2 on my remote webserver though.

IceD

Huh. I've tested it with PHP 4.0.6 (Linux), 4.1.0 (Windows) and 4.2.3 (Windows) - works perfectly. Can you please invetigate the problem? Maybe all things are with your PHP settings (have you set up session.save_handler and session.save_path in you php.ini)?

victor78

Yep, all that is set. both servers are setup very close to each other. The webserver runs redhat 8.1 with php 4.1.2 and it works great. I think my local server is screwed up because I got it working at one point and now it won't work again.

I tried it like this for a while and it worked, but now its not working at all again either way.

Example:

$session->set('login', "test");

Will register login

$session->set("login", "test");

Will NOT register login.

The session is started in both ways, however. Now, I can't get them to work in any way I write it.

I'll try reinstalling php.
