PHP Sessions

[BeBop]

Feel kinda stupid asking this but i dont wanna use cookies, i wanna use sessions... imanaged to get it set but how the f*ck do i get the data from it? lol

I looked on php.net's website and at all the session stuff but couldnt find anything on how to actually get information that has been set into the session out.

Any help would be appreciated, possibly even a snippet of code.

Problem solved didnt realize you had to register session variables lol... For anyone who wants info on this heres an example and then the webpage

PHP Code:

            session_register("username");
            session_register("password"); 


username and password are elements taken from a form that has been submitted.... More informatoin on this here... http://us4.php.net/manual/en/functio...n-register.php

$_SESSION is better in my opinion, i guess its up to each one what to use.

$_session didnt work for me so i used session register

[Scott]

Session 1:

Try using $_SESSION['name']="value";

$session=$_SESSION['name'];

echo $session;

// value

Session 2:

$session="value";
session_register("session"); <- From the $session var

$session=$_SESSION['session'];

echo $session;

// value

Other session junk:

You can also use session_is_registered(session); to check if it is a registered session,

If(!session_is_registered(session)) {
// You need to login?
} Else {
//You are logged in
}

i used the second example it worked better than the first.

you cant use $_SESSION[] array and session_register in the same script.

and you should use $_SESSION since session_register() is register_globals dependent.

make sure you have those off. most host have them on for some reason. even tho it's off by default in new php versions.
