note 53683 added to function.session-register

Note that with the existence of both $_SESSION and references, it is not necessary to use register_globals() if you don't want your code cluttered up with references to the $_SESSION superglobal. Just do something like: $_SESSION['some_variable'] =& $GLOBALS['some_variable']; And henceforth you can just use $some_variable and forget all about typing $_SESSION all the time. Though on subsequent sessions if you want to get at that value with a global variable in a similar fashion, you'll of course have to use: $GLOBALS['some_variable'] =& $_SESSION['some_variable']; It's fairly easy to take that knowledge and come up with a user-defined function that does 90+% of what the old session_register() did... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-register.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53683 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53683&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53683&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53683&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53683&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53683&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53683&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
