session variables

[Snyders]

I want to save a password in a session variable, and I tried it that way:

$pwd="pwd";
session_start();
session_register("pwd");

on the next page I want to varify the password so I started the session with "session_start(); and the I thought I can access the varable via "$pwd" (register_globals is activated), but somehow, the value of $pwd is null... what did I do wrong???

try to:
session_start();
$pwd ="pwd";
session_register("pwd");

and the same for the next page...

If you do a session_register you dont need to also do a session_start as the session register function does a session start itself.

To check if the user has already logged in use something like the following:

session_start();
global $pwd; // only needed if trying to access pwd within a function

if (!session_is_registered("pwd")) //checks if
{
send back to login page
}
else // logged in
{
do wot u want here

}

Try assigning the value to your variable after you register it:

session_register("pwd");
$pwd = "password";
