note 18296 added to ref.session

Here's a simple way to have Embperl like sessions. This consist in a "special" variable (a hash) wich is persistent and holds all the persistent data. In this case the easyest way is to take directly the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS variable, and add a prepend.inc and append.inc files to automaticly register and unregister variables like this: ---- prepend.inc ---- <?php # In case you don't use sessions auto start session_start(); foreach ( $HTTP_SESSION_VARS as $var => $val ) $OLD_SESSION_VARS[] = $var; ?> ---- append.inc ---- <?php foreach ( $OLD_SESSION_VARS as $var ) if ( !isset( $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$var] ) ) session_unregister( $var ); foreach ( $HTTP_SESSION_VARS as $var => $val ) session_register( $var ); ---------- The add this files to your php.ini as auto_prepend and auto_append, and that's it... All you have to do to use a persistent variable is to use it in the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS hash. Try this script out with your new prepend and append files: ---- test.php ---- <?= $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["counter"]++ ?> ------------------ and refresh it several times. To unregister a variable, just unset() it, like <? unset( $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["counter"] ); ?> Hope it helps! :) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+18296 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+18296 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+18296
