Php Session..

[janhouse00]

Hello everybody,

Here i would like to ask:

session_register("name");
$name="Dude";
print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);

Why does the array contain nothing(for the first time)?
Is there a way to get the session variable worked right after it has been registered? Thank you very much

try

session_start();
session_register("name");
$_SESSION['name'] = "blah";
print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);

Although the PHP Manual doesnt suggest using $_SESSION[name'] = "blah"; with session_register.

There's no need to use both session_register and $SESSION...it's one or the other depending on how register_globals is set in your version of php. If register globals is turned on, use session_register. If it's turned off, use $SESSION instead. The better way is turn register_globals off and use $SESSION....

session_start();
$_SESSION["var"] = "data";
print $_SESSION["var"];

that should output "data".
