Re: sessions

thanks for the starter. I have session.use_trans_sid = 1 in my php.ini, I also have session_start() at the beginning of both pages. Now $HTTP_SESSION_VARS is there, but its a blank array. print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS); yields-> Array ( ) the code I have at one page is $z=<some data>; session_start(); session_register('$z'); I also tried without the quotes, still a blank array. What am I doing wrong? How do I make sure I'm starting the correct session in the new page? I can get the session ID, but what do I do with it? Steffan Packer wrote:

You need to have session_start(); at the top of each page that needs to use the session vars, also check that session.use_trans_sid is set to 1 in your ini file hope this helps! -----Original Message----- From: Anthony [mailto:atampone@attechcomputer.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 3:54 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] sessions I need some help with sessions. I read the sections in the manual and searched for tutorials, but I still can't get a straight forward example of how sessions work. I need to pass variables to a page that will load in a new browser window. I used session_register, but when I look in the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS, it doesn't exist. I tried using start_session and still no luck. Once I get the session vars registered, how do I access them. I am able to pass the session id as a var, I'm going it like page.php?sid=$<sid_var>. Is there a better way, do I need to do this at all? I'm confused as hell and can't find a working example anywhere. Help! - Anthony
