[Resolved] Variable Session Variables---Help!

[magic-chef]

I've had some difficulty with sessions and did a little tracking. First I put out variables on each page.

Like this:

session_start();
$userid=$SESSION['userid'];
echo $userid."=userid after index stsrt<BR>.";
$userid=$SESSION['userid'];
echo $userid."=userid after 2nd assign<BR>.";

BLAH>BLAH...

echo $_SESSION['userid']."=Sessusrid.<BR>";
echo $userid."=userid before includes<BR>.";

Here is what I get!!

11=userid after index stsrt
.11=userid after 2nd assign
.11=Sessusrid.
11=userid before includes

Any Ideas? Check out the decimal points.

Another update:

This is at initial login:
=userid after index stsrt
.=userid after 2nd assign
.=Sessusrid.
=userid before includes

After Registering I get this:

11=userid after index stsrt
.11=userid after 2nd assign
.11=Sessusrid.
11=userid before includes

This is the code that produces it:

session_start();
$userid=$SESSION['userid'];
echo $userid."=userid after index stsrt<BR>.";
$userid=$SESSION['userid'];
echo $userid."=userid after 2nd assign<BR>.";
if (!isset($SESSION['uname']))
{
$SESSION['uname'] = '';
}
if (!isset($SESSION['fn']))
{
$SESSION['fn'] = '';
}
if (!isset($SESSION['userid']))
{
$SESSION['userid'] = '';
}
if (!isset($SESSION['mtype']))
{
$SESSION['mtype'] = '0';
}
echo $_SESSION['userid']."=Sessusrid.<BR>";
echo $userid."=userid before includes<BR>.";

Here's another pages version of the variable:

11=userid at pur-cred begin
.1111=userid befor purch
.

The more I reproduce this the more curious I become.

Could it be the result of initializing the variables on the index.php page?

[magic-chef]

I slept with this thought...WTF.

I can't imagine how this can happen!
Code in script:

$userid=$SESSION['userid'];
echo "test User id<br>";
echo $SESSION['userid']."=Sess<br>.";
echo $userid."=User<br>";

Output in browser:

test User id
18=Sess
.18=User
test User id
18=Sess
.18=User

WHere is the decimal coming from?

[kevinsequeira]

the decimal point is not in the session variable it comes cause u are displaying it like this

echo $userid."=userid after index stsrt<BR>.";

see the dot after br tag
