Hi PFMaBiSmAd, Thank you for your reply. If PHP handles class objects automatically, then that's great and it's less work for me. I would like to respectfully disagree. I've tried it out and I encountered problems while not using the specific methods I said. I tried printing out the session id generated from curl and the browser, and they were different -- so they were using different sessions when I needed them to use the same one. I am using PHP 5.3 by the way. But why isn't it working the first time but working from the second time onwards. What situation would warrant such behavior? Thanks for your reply once again,

Hi everyone, I am trying to implement an OAuth system in PHP. I've got the code working but the very first time a fresh, new browser window is opened, the code doesn't work. If I refresh the page and try again, then it works. I have a few suspicions as to where the problem might be but other than that I am stumped. I have two classes: OAuthServer and OAuthClient. I create and store an object of the appropriate class in session variables. I know this is tricky but I am serializing and unserializing properly. To fetch responses from the Server, I am using curl. As curl uses a different session from the browser, I am doing a session_write_close before initializing curl and passing the appropriate parameters to curl. But my code needed to further write session variables even after session_write_close was called and to achieve this, I am calling session_start(), once again, after the curl code is finished. I found that this works but PHP was throwing warnings saying that the header info had already been sent or something like that, but I have suppressed such warnings. I suspect the error has something to do with this but I'm not sure. The part that doesn't work the very first time is that on the server-side, the session variable that is supposed to contain the OAuthServer object is NULL. But if I do a refresh of the page(flow: login_page->error_page), it works. Can anyone tell me why I am encountering the above error and if I am doing things correctly or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Regards, GarbageGigo
