[Resolved] Passing vars with sessions

John_wilson

Ok basically, My variables are disappearing, or at least I should say the session is. I am using some pre-generated code from frontpage which is a hover button ( java script) I need to pass the session_id, with the url but don't understand how, I have tried adding a question mark followed by the session_id function (didn't work very well ) and I'm now completely stuck, the thing is I can't use cookies due to the security restrictions on my domain at school.

Help.

Code availble if peeps want it.

Thanks

John

You can add the session id by using constant named SID. As I see using only session_id() after ? character in url means that theres no variable name, only value. So try SID with something like this:

echo '<ahref="index.php?'.SID.'">Page</a>';

Thanks thats great, worked sid is now passed, but that wasn't teh issue I did need that doing, but my vars are not being added into the $session ( array?)

$user=$HTTP_POST_VARS['user'];
  $_SESSION['user']=$user;
  print(":::::::$user username:::::::::::");
  $testing=$_SESSION['user'];
  print("$Testing, testing");

now user is set and works
but testing isn't?

Any ideas?

EDIT:: I still have session_start() in my header file does this need to be there still? apparently it used to be needed before I could access vars or is it now re-createing the session thus killing my vars?

Well... I might sound stupid now but you have an error in your code:
print("$Testing, testing");

should be:
print("$testing, testing");

So no capitals because then it becames a different variable 🙂

And yes, you have to have session_start() in every page or the session is lost.

BTW, a quick way to see that $SESSION array is populated is to use print_r($SESSION).

Woohoo!

Thank you, it works, time for me to bow my head in shame for the silly mistakes.
