$_Session with globals off

InNEs

Hello i have just switched servers and found i i am now getting session errors since the server has globals set to off.

"undefined variable $_session "

i was using this script

<? 
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(user_id)){
header("location:login.php");
}
?>

on each page to make sure the user had logged in and i was collecting the user_id on some pages for sql querys so i could find out what user was doing whatever on the page.

$user=$_SESSION['user_id'];

is there anyway arround this since i cannot use the $_session anymore?

<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {header('location: login.php');} 
?>

Who says you can't use $SESSION anymore? It's a superglobal array - available in every variable scope.

What you shouldn't be using is [man]session_is_register/man; instead, use [man]isset/man to check for an element in the $_SESSION array.

thanks, i have changed that but now i get this problem the session does not seem to be registering as every page i goto after i log in throws me back to the login page, here is what i currently have to register the session

if($count==1){

$user_id=mysql_result($result,"user_id");
mysql_close();

session_register("user_id");
header("location:viewmeetings.php");

}

think i got it.

if($count==1){

$user_id=mysql_result($result,"user_id");
mysql_close();

session_start();
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $user_id;
header("location:viewmeetings.php");

}
//else fail!
else {

Looks right. If you still have issues, try adding [man]session_write_close/man before the header() call.
