Hey Guys,
Im having a really frustrating problem with this set of PHP:
writeConversationFunctions.php
<?php
session_start();
the function writeMessage($message){
$_SESSION['messagetest'] = $message;
$chatLogFile = "log.txt";
$openChatLog = fopen($chatLogFile, 'w') or die("Failed to open Log File.");
if($message == "resetnow"){
$message = "";
fwrite($openChatLog, $message);
fclose($openChatLog);
$_SESSION['lastMessageSize'] = 0;
}
elseif($message == ""){
}
else{
$timestamp = date("h:i");
if(isset($_SESSION['username'])){
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
}
else{
$username = "Anonymous";
}
if($message[0] == "/"){
$commandString = stripslashes($commandString);
$commandString = htmlentities($commandString, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$commandString = substr($commandString, 1);
$command = explode(" ",$commandString);
switch ($command[0]){
case "slap":
$name = command[1];
$commandResponse = '<p class="commandText">' ."You slap " . $name . "across the face.</p>";
fwrite($openChatLog, $commandResponse);
fclose($openChatLog);
break;
}
}
else{
$message = stripslashes($message);
$message = htmlentities($message, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$message = preg_replace('@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>', $message);
$messageString = '
<p class="message">
<span class="timestamp">' .$timestamp . '</span>
<span class="username">' . $username . ': </span>'
. $message .
'</p>';
fwrite($openChatLog, $messageString);
fclose($openChatLog);
}
}
}
writeMessage($_POST['message']);
?>
Simply, the session at the top will not be created for some reason.
The post data is sent from:
index.php
<?php
session_start();
?>

Any help with this issue would be GREATLY appreciated!
