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

a better solution, in my opinoin, is some sort of grouping mechanism. this way i can set up n different session groups. every session in a group shares a set of variables so the have their own scope. i can register a session in m groups, so my session gets access to all variables of the groups, i registered it to. The session itself has a local scope itself, so i can have private variables and variables of different scopes Regards, Michael "Brad Lafountain" <rodif_bl@yahoo.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:20020425181103.91507.qmail@web9605.mail.yahoo.com... > 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?
