Re: Cannot pass values from one page to another

I think you don't get me. I am not registering the password. Just I use $_SESSION['uname']=$uname; and I need to get the value $_SESSION['visnme'] in the next new page without passing the uname in the URL itself.( <form action="....?uname=$uname" ) as query parameter What I need is that I want to fetch the value of $unme in the next page after login without passing it to next page. Ofcourse the solution is to use POST. I used POST to pass it to next page. That page is authentication.php where I check the uname and passwd and invoked header('...php?$visnme) function From this page how can I pass $uname without using query parameters.

Hi, Ok this is a major vulnerability that you are coding. Register globals on and password being stored in the session is like having a banner on your home page saying 'come and hack me'. murugesan wrote: My register_globals in set to ON in php.ini file. I cannot use HTTP_COOKIE_VARS because I need to pass the password from one

page to another. -murugesan ----- Original Message ----- From: <jabber@raditha.com> To: "php mailing list" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 7:13 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Cannot pass values from one page to another

what's your register globals settings? did you try to retrieve from HTTP_COOKIE_VARS ? murugesan wrote:

You have posted many questions where the manual would have provided you a solution. Are you placing session_start() at the top of each page where you expect

session variables to be available? You should be... Have a pleasant day.
