note 26372 deleted from function.session-start by didou

Note Submitter: shadowflame@starpilot.net ---- I would just like to say: If you are using an include page, such as a config or possibly common-functions page, that relies on session variables being pulled from the sesssion, remember to add the session_start() function _before_ you call the includes, or your session will not be called by the page... I've been frustrated by this so many times it's not funny. Use: <?php session_start(); include 'inc/config.inc.php'; include 'inc/common.inc.php'; /* Page code */ ?> Not: <?php include 'inc/config.inc.php'; include 'inc/common.inc.php'; session_start(); /* Page code */ ?> This is important because including a file is _exactly_ like pasting it into the page, just cleaner. If you don't call the session _first_, the config code won't recognize it and you will waste a lot of time and be really annoyed.
