note 52935 added to ref.session

An bug of my own zoo that was hard to catch with sessions. This may save time to someone else: // in some page, after session_start $_SESSION[$var] = $someValue; // my bug: $var was wrong, as it didn't contain a valid PHP identifier. $_SESSION['flag'] = 'here'; // flag is a valid PHP identifier... but... // then redirect to another page with session_id and everything else ok . . . // in next page after session_start() count($_SESSION) == 0 // ! yes, it's empty, as $var was wrong, that stoped the whole // $_SESSION array to be stored hope this saves time to others. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52935 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52935&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52935&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52935&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52935&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52935&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52935&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
