Re: IsSet() and $_SESSION

None of these worked for me. ok, if you look at the code, the part where "echo $_SESSION['uid'];" is actually works. I get a print out of the variable. if i call session_start() before anything, set variables in $_SESSION, and check it on another page, the session variables do not exist. in fact, the session isnt even started, cause I get an "Undefined variable _SESSION". so, it looks like the session is not spamming page requests. Do I have to call session_start() on every page to read the $_SESSION variables set in another? Shivanischal A wrote:

John, I can think of 3 problems... 1. I'm not sure, but try inserting a 'session_start()' in file.php 2. in ur validateadminlogin() method, the mysql_close() never seems to get called. 3. try $_SESSION['uid'] . use ' instead of ". " seema to cause problems in some cases. best of luck, -shiva ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Manko" <xerid@adelphia.net> Newsgroups: php.general To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 6:49 AM Subject: IsSet() and $_SESSION

I'm having a problem with the value that isset returns on $_SESSION variables. For some reason, even if $_SESSION['uid'] is set, isset returns FALSE. Here is the code: ------ file1.php ----------- include "file2.php"; if (!isset($_SESSION["uid"])) { // This first time $_SESSION["uid"] is check, we should // end up in here. However, ValidAdminLogin (next test) // will set $_SESSION["uid"] so next time we will not // get here. if ( !ValidAdminLogin($_POST["adminid"],$_POST["adminpass"])) forceadminlogin(); } elseif ( !ValidAdminSession() ) forceadminlogin(); // this is done to show that $_SESSION["uid"] is being set // but isset still returns false echo $_SESSION["uid"]; ------ file2.php ----------- function ValidAdminLogin($user, $pass){ global $_SESSION; if (The_MYSQL_Stuff_Is_NOT_OK) return false; else {

     session_start();

$_SESSION["logged"] = true; $_SESSION["username"] = $user; $_SESSION["adminlogin"] = true; $_SESSION["fname"] = $fname; $_SESSION["lname"] = $lname; $_SESSION["email"] = $email; $_SESSION["uid"] = session_id();

      return true;

} mysql_close(); }
