This is all what I thought, but I am still having problems and I
don't have a clue what I am missing. Here's an example that I
have been paying with for testing.
page1.php contains
<?php
session_start();
echo "session id is ".session_id()."<br>\n";
if (session_register("testing")) {
echo "session_register worked.<br>\n";
}
else {
echo "session_register did not work<br>\n";
}
if (session_is_registered("testing")) {
echo "testing is a registered variable<br>\n";
}
else {
echo "testing is not a registered variable<br>\n";
}
$testing = "Let's see if this works.";
?>
<a href="page2.php?<?=SID?>">Go to next page.</a>
The output of the above page, gives me
session id is e35c2893382e28a14fa0455302edb06e
session_register did not work
testing is a registered variable
Go to next page.
and page2.php contains
<?php
session_start();
echo "session id is ".session_id()."<br>\n";
echo "Testing: $testing<br>\n";
?>
The output of page2 gives me
session id is e35c2893382e28a14fa0455302edb06e
Testing:
I am totally confused. First off, why isn't it registering the
variable? There is a file named e35c2893382e28a14fa0455302edb06e
in my /tmp directory, but it is empty.
Second, if it isn't registering the variable then why is
session_is_registered("testing") returning true?
