RE: [PHP] Session Variables

I have a function that i call at the beginning of each page (well, those that require user auth). checkLogin() this checks for a positive integer value in a session variable called intUserID $_SESSION['intUserID']; is that isn't a positive integer, i redirect to the login page. the login is split into two script, prompt and process. prompt is a form which POSTs data to the process script which in turn verifys the username/password and if valid, assigns $_SESSION['intUserID'] the value of the users user ID. all looks fine to me. .b p.s. is it just me or is the reply-to on this list a little odd? > -----Original Message----- > From: Phil Powell [mailto:soazine@erols.com] > Sent: 16 April 2002 22:50 > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Session Variables > > > I understand the concept of session variables, so I want to know the best > methodology of approaching this: > > 1) HTML redirect to PHP page > 2) PHP page looks for session > a) If found, show some stuff > b) If not found, prompt user for username and password > 3) If no session, prompt user for username and password, once entered & is > ok, set session and redirect > > Following is a code snippet I borrowed that I think would work, correct me > if I'm wrong: > > // Setting a name for our session. > session_name("hasLoggedIn"); > // Starting Session. > session_start(); > // Register vars into session > session_register("username"); > // Setting values for session vars. > $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"]=$HTTP_POST_VARS["username"]; > // Referring a session info to another PHP. > echo "<A HREF=\"somefile.php?" . session_name() .
