[Resolved] [Resolved] [Resolved] SESSIONS with user functions

[chads2k2]

What's up? I am looking at doing this easily. HA! Here is what I got. I am trying to take all the session variables and have them be passed to a function I created. I seemed to find out that right before the line of

function SendEmail($email)
{

it worked great! I got any session variables to be outputed. So I know that works. Now, how do I send all the session variables to the function that I made? I really am confused and don't want to have have to "unglobalize" them by putting them back to local variables. Let me know if you have done this and how. I am really curious. Thanks!

FIX: If you create your own functions you MUST use $SESSION[var_name] for the output. It ignores the whole GLOBAL idea. Just FYI. You might be able to get away with something like "global $SESSION" but I am not going to try it at work. Sorry bout all the resolved things. I got carried away a little. Take care and keep the information out there!

The reason for this is the variable scope. You are using local variables (when you say $var = $SESSION['variable']😉, and these are no longer available when you enter the function. Thus, you'd have to global $var; in the function--but why do that, when you have $SESSION['variable'] ready inside an autoglobal ($_SESSION)?

This really all boils down to register_globals, which you can find a million and sixteen posts about on here. So, just fix your code to work without register_globals.

I find your signature fits quite well in this situation. 😉
