RE: [PHP] Confusing Session terminology

Yeah, I totally understand what you mean, but I need to include the class declarations prior to session_start(), cause an instance of one of the classes is being saved in the session. to do this I would need to split up where it's called (which would not be all that often, depends on the page i'm viewing), and later on where it's actually used .. which makes things more complicated (it's a big site) cause then the stuff is too spread out .... but this is a bit beside the point .... I'm still just curious as to whether or not it sends the cookies irregardless when I tell it to not use cookie-based sessions. thanks >===== Original Message From Justin French <justin@indent.com.au> ===== >Not exactly *solving* your problem, but why can't you just session_start() >at the top of the script, on every page, regardless? > >This is what I do with my main code base, and can only think of a few >isolated instances where this wouldn't be desirable. > > >Also, you should be able to do lots of include()'s of classes, libraries, >code etc etc (providing they don't have any blank lines or other output in >them) before the session_start()... eg: > ><? >include('something.class'); >include('foo.lib'); >include('otherstuff.php'); > >if(something) > { > session_start(); > } >?> > > > >Justin > > >on 06/05/03 5:30 AM, Brenton Bartel (brentonb@uvic.ca) wrote: > >> Yes, session.use_cookies is set to 0 in my php.ini file.
