# START CODE SNIPPET ... COMMENTS BELOW (and yes I am not a db guru by
anymeans, might be easier ways to do this)
<?php
session_start();
$tsid=session_id();
echo $tsig; # <--------debug
$date=date("ymdHi");
$connect=mysql_pconnect('localhost', 'user', 'pass');
mysql_select_db('db', $connect);
$queryexe=mysql_query("SELECT user, ip, dtg FROM tmp WHERE sid='$tsid'");
$row=mysql_fetch_array($queryexe);
extract($row);
$id='';
$status='';
mysql_select_db('a_db', $connect);
$queryexe=mysql_query("SELECT site, camp FROM users WHERE user='$user'");
$row=mysql_fetch_array($queryexe);
extract($row);
mysql_select_db('cbs_tech', $connect);
extract($_GET);
extract($_POST);
switch ($site){
case 'cbs':
switch ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']){
case 'POST':
switch ($user){
case 'allenr':
break;
default:
switch ($status){
case 1:
$queryexe=mysql_query("SELECT event FROM log WHERE
id=$id");
$row=mysql_fetch_array($queryexe);
extract($row);
$queryexe=mysql_query("UPDATE log SET event='$event' WHERE
id=$id");
header('Location: https://example.org');
die;
}
break;
Now this is where I have issues. The header ('Location:
https://example.org') works as it is suppose to BUT!!!
a new SID is issued.
Thought the SID stayed w/ the browser until it was closed. When I loop back
through I of course can not find the previous SID as a new one was created.
Is it because I am going POST-->GET (seems to work with GET-->GET or
GET-->POST)
Any ideas why a new one is being created? (and don't say start_session() ...
this is a long script and the ONLY place it has issues is when I am
processing a $POST (works fine for all the $GETS))
Thank in advance,
-Peter
