some hints with sessions...

alessio_r

Hi all!
I need help about a question on php sessions.
I've a login HTML page, linked to a form in which the user inserts its user name and password. At same time of the authentication procedure, I start a session in this way :

$SessName=$user_name.date("dmY");
session_start("SessName");
session_register("SessName");

The auth succeeds. And here there's no problem.
The next page I visit, instead, I receive a message of "access denied".

Why?

WEll as you may know the Session start must be before any HTML at all...at the very top of the page.

Also

After the user has logged in... on the other pages you also have to put Session_Start. Then use the
If (session_is_registered("Sessname")) {
Do stuff
}

So on log in page have this>

$SessName=$user_name.date("dmY");
session_start("SessName");
session_register("SessName");

Then on your next pages have this

session_start();
If (session_is_registered("Sessname")) {
Do stuff
}

mw-dnb

my way of checking for a session

session_start();
if ($GLOBALS["mysession"]) {
foreach($GLOBALS["mysession"] as $elem) {
      $ses_tmp[] = $elem;  

   }  

    $value1 = $ses_tmp[0]; 
    $value2 = $ses_tmp[1]; 
	$verified = "yes"; 
} else {
	$verified="no";
}

$value1 and $value2 are the values stored for the session
