RE: [PHP-DB] Session variables when global variables switched off [Sorry, first message accidentally fired off to quickly ]

Hi Jeff Don't use session_register() just use the $_SESSION superglobal as you would use any other array. So does this work? <? //index.php session_start(); // Login stuff done OK $_SESSION['verified'] = true; ?> <? // Other pages needing a valid login session_start(); if (!isset($_SESSION['verified'])) { // push user back to login page header('Location: http://mysite/index.php'); exit(); } ?> HTH Rich > -----Original Message----- > From: Baumgartner Jeffrey [mailto:j.baumgartner@itp-europe.com] > Sent: 18 February 2003 11:20 > To: 'php-db@lists.php.net' > Subject: [PHP-DB] Session variables when global variables switched off > [Sorry, first message accidentally fired off to quickly ] > > > [sorry for the incomplete posting of a couple moments ago.
