Re: Going backwards with sessions.

I think you might need to session_register () the variables on each page you want to use them, not just once per session. Doug Budny wrote:

I'm having a strange problem with sessions, it appears that they are not propagating to the next page. When I run the login page the sess vars get registered, the session_id() get's set, and the cookie sessId get's set. However when I go to the order page in a subdirectory only the cookie sessId comes over correctly. It will not set the session_id(). The only thing that prints as expected is the cookie var and $sessionId. I'm using 4.0.4pl1 on Redhad 6.2 apache 1.3.9 . enable_track_vars is enabled and so is register_globals. Am I doing something wrong or is Sessions broken in pl1? <?php

        // login page

    srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
    $sessionId = md5(uniqid(rand()));
    session_id($sessionId);
    session_start();
    setcookie("sessId", $sessionId);

    session_register('clientid');
    session_register('clientname');
    session_register('rnum');

?> <?php

    // order page

    $sessionId = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['sessId'];

    session_id($sesssionId);
    session_start();

    //global $clientname;
    //global $clientid;

    echo ('<br>Client ID :' . $clientid);
    echo ('<br>Rnumber   :' . $rnum);
    echo ('<br>SessCli Name  :' . $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['clientname']);

    echo ('<br>Session_Id() :' . session_id());
    echo ('<br>Session_name() :' . session_name());
    echo ('<br>sessId :' . $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['sessId']);
