Re: accessing session variables in functions

session_start(); session_register("count"); function go() { global $count; $count++; print "visited " . $count . " times"; } Try that. We had problems with this, and IRC discussions and I think even a private email or two with someone from the list indicated that the above was the correct method, and obviously no one at our company understood variable scope. Personally, I think it had nothing to do with variable scope so much as function scope - I start a session in a function, that session info should be available to that function's code. But hey, what do I know? ;) D Robinson wrote: > Since no-one answered my last email (no hard feelings:)), just maybe, > someone could help me with this: > > Niether: > > function go() > { > session_start(); > session_register("count"); > $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["count"]++; > print "visited " . $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["count"] .
