Re: session problems when calling within a class.

Hi, I got the same problem but i left it (had no more time to fumble around with it). But try this, because it was what I was going to try: function ccsession($userid = '1', $groupid = '1', $authid = '1', $username = 'guest', $first_name = 'Guest', $last_name = 'Account') { global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; // Change all session variables below to // $this->_cm_user_id = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["userid"] // and so on.. $this->ss(); // I guess this is not important for sessions $this->_cm_user_id = $userid; $this->_cm_group_id = $groupid; $this->_cm_auth_id = $authid; $this->_username = $username; $this->_first_name = $first_name; $this->_last_name = $last_name; $this->_session_id = $this->set_si(); } // Once you started the session you might be able to set it // the way you are doing here, in the following code as long // as you don't send anything before this. If you do it you // know you will have already sent the old ID to the user. function set_si() { //if (0) { //$c_session_id = $this->get_si(); print "==".session_id()."<br>"; if (session_id()) { $this->_session_id = $c_session_id; } else { srand((double)microtime()*1132590); // make 'rand' function truly random $this->_session_id = md5(rand(0,9999999)); } $this->is_set_si = 1; session_id($this->_session_id); print "--".session_id()."<br>"; return $this->_session_id; //} } } By doing this you should be able (and I say SHOULD, I haven't tested it) to get the value from the session, but you will still have to start the session outside the class. Also don't forget to change the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with the new session information if you change it. From my point of view the problem is with variable scope. Even with register_globals and track_vars the code didn't work for me. If you find out something please post it (or at least send me a message with your findings) because actually I was doing that stuff with just functions and not a class. Hope it's useful for you.
