Re: Problem grabbing value of session

I think the problem is one of scope.. though I have never tried starting a session inside a function so I really don't know how it operates. But if you do something like.. /********************/ function is_valid($user, $privs) { // validate user.. if ($valid) {return TRUE;} } if (is_valid($user, $privs)) { session_start(); session_register(user); session_register(privs); } /********************/ I don't know the answer to your question but this work with out a doubt as it avoids any unkown problems with the scope of the session variables. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Lewis" <jeff@hyrum.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 12:40 PM Subject: [PHP] Problem grabbing value of session > I am in a function called Login2 in which I call the following: > > session_start(); > session_register("valid_user"); > session_register("privs"); > > valid_user contain a name - Jim > privs contains a number -1 > > Right after I call those I try a is_registered and it showed that these > registered correctly.
