RE: [PHP] session HELL !!!!!!

hmmm interesting thought, so... I am on a test environment at the moment, so I cleaned out '/tmp' and then logged as the only user.. it created a session with just login data. So far so good user enters data and hits submit.. in the session in /tmp/xxx, all the data is stored correctly (and there is still only one session) user chooses to enter another record, the new record entry into the database is correct, BUT, the session data has not changed??? I looked at the 'last modified' timestamp on the session, and it changed with the submit of the form... but no data was changed.. aaaggghhhh !!!!! I even removed the session_register lines and just left the $contactID as updated. the session record was 'touched' but not changed ... richard (in hell still ;-)) -----Original Message----- From: Szii [mailto:szii@sziisoft.com] Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2000 8:17 PM To: richard Subject: Re: [PHP] session HELL !!!!!! Doesn't look like you're doing anything WRONG, but since you register the name, why not just change it? The value will follow. ie, $contactID = "42"; session_register("contactID"); $contactID = "43"; The variable's already reg'd for "persistance" so you don't have to unreg/re-reg it. As for it not being "saved" correctly in the session data, are you sure you're reusing the same session? Have you looked at your server-side file (ie, /tmp/xxx) to verify that it is indeed wrong? You may be setting it, but without the same session (or a valid session) having been started, you're just going to end up with legacy artifacts. -Szii At 08:23 PM 10/15/00 -0700, you wrote: > >hi folks, here's the scenario, > >user fills in a form to add a record to a database. record is created and >uses mySQL autoincrement to create the record ID.
