RE: [PHP] How to use Session Variables

With register_globals on: 1. Put session_start() at the top of each page. 2. Initialize the variable, then call session_register(): $foo = 'bar'; session_register('foo'); 3. Do all assignments to $foo, not $HTTP_SESSION_VAR['foo'], since $foo gets written to $HTTP_SESSION_VAR['foo'] at the end of the current page, and so will overwrite anything that was assigned to $HTTP_SESSION_VAR['foo']. 4. Because of #3, the value assigned to $foo won't be available in $HTTP_SESSION_VAR['foo'] until the next page. Clear as mud? I thought so ;) Kirk > -----Original Message----- > From: Brandon [mailto:brando@augmented-chaos.com] > Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 4:02 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] How to use Session Variables > > > Could anybody point me to a good tutorial/howto on how to > make a variable > accessible to all of my PHP pages?
