Re: session var being lost between pages

He meant that session_start() needs to be invoked on each page. If you miss it on any page, then PHP assumes that this page does not use sessions. track_vars is a configuration directive in PHP.ini (http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php) this is set to true after PHP4.0.3 I assume that he thought of register_globals: (from PHP manual) register_globals Tells whether or not to register the EGPCS (Environment, GET, POST, Cookie,Server) variables as global variables. You may want to turn this off if you don't want to clutter your scripts' global scope with user data. This makes the most sense when coupled with track_vars - in which case you can access all of the EGPCS variables through the $HTTP_ENV_VARS,$HTTP_GET_VARS,$HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS, and $HTTP_SERVER_VARS arrays in the global scope. and additionally your original problem: session_register() registers the _global_(!) variable named by it with the current session. session_start() needs no argument. hth, Papp Gyozo - pgerzson@freestart.hu ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-Christian Imbeault" <jean_christian@hotmail.com> To: <cdechery@easynet.com.br>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 4:44 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] session var being lost between pages > Can someone explain this to me?
