Re: Another addition to session-module ... while were on topic

Yeah it was disscuessed that the session modules could define and handle $_APP so that would be globals for all sessions. a work around would be to do something like this $oldsession_id = sessoin_id(); session_id(1); session_start(); $var = $_SESSION['var']; session_desetroy(); session_id($oldsesion_id); session_start(); echo $var . $_SESSION['local_var']; (i didn't run this code might not work logicall it does tho) it would be much cleaner to do session_start(); echo $_APP['var'] . $_SESSION['local_var']; and allowing the session modules to handle the $_APP (files/mm/msession) variable. but you bring up a good point.. globals per 'mode'. not just 'loggged_in' but.. you could have many 'modes' that you would want globaly scoped data assoicated with them. but you could do something like this too... $_APP['logged_in'] = array(some, global, data); So i guess what im saying... if $_APP global was added then it would also solve your other 'scope'. - Brad --- Dan Hardiker <dhardiker@staff.firstcreative.net> wrote: > While were talking about session advancement... has anyone ever thought of > adding shared sesssions?
