Passing Session Data in Objects to the next page

[Anon]

Hi everybody,

we are having proplems passing data which is stored in an object to another page. The first page (page1.html) instantiates an object and registers it to the session.
The second page tries to get the data back from the object using the class definition in SomeClassName.obj.

Page2 will not allow me to get the data back because it does not load the class definitions properly.

The following code works under NT, but will not work on Solaris (dynamically linked to apache)

Here is page1.html

<?
session_start();
include ("SomeClassName.obj");
session_register ("inst1");
$inst1 = new SomeClassName();
$inst1->message = "OH, this is a Bummer!";
print $inst1 . "<BR><BR>";
?>

<a href="page2.html">GO TO NEXT PAGE</a>

Here is page2.html

<?
session_start();
include ("SomeClassName.obj");
print $inst1->message;

?>

Here is SomeClassName.obj

<?
class SomeClassName {
var $message;
}

?>

Here is the error message of page2:

Fatal error: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition someclassname of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded before the session was started in /www/dev1/htdocs/page2.html on line 7

Can anybody give me a hint why this does not work under Solaris? Do I need to specify an additional compiling option for PHP to enable class definition caching?

Looking forward to your answers.

according to the error-message's advice:

"Please ensure that the class definition someclassname of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded before the session was started..."

maybe try putting the include() statement before you initiate the session.

That doesn't work. Does anybody know the solution to this ?

I have exactly the same problem...
I really dont know how to solve it please told me if you found anything!!

I was looking around for advice on how to do exactly what you're talking about, Patbucks. I didn't think it would work, but it turns out that the second message in this thread is right on target: i had to include the file with my class definition -before- calling session_start(). I changed my code so that the first line in each page does the proper file includes, and the next line calls session_start(). I can instantiate a new object from a class defined in the include file(s), register it with the session, and use it wherever I want to (remember to declare the instance name as global before making references to it). Hope that helps you, if not email me and i'll send you some sample code.

Get php.ini 'session autostart' to 0.
