SESSION

[grandman]

Hell, I have a problem with the SESSION FUNCTION. I'm trying to pass a SESSION Variable (username) from the login file located in directory "A" to a file located in directory "E", given a directory structure: A,B,C,D,E.

 

I can't find how to check this, I've d tried print command but it wont work, this is a small snippet from the start of the script:

 

<?php

if(!session_id()) session_start();

if (session_is_registered);

$user = ($_SESSION['username']);

print ($user);

?>

 

Not sure if this is correct, never used session before. This is for my sites members area, I had used a DB access, but really need to make sure I have the log-on member, so I am trying to use session.

[ code ] is your friend.

 

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['username'])) 
    $user = $_SESSION['username'];
else 
    $user = "";

print ($user);
?>

 

Should work. You do not need the extras of session_id and session_is_registered, the above does that for you.

Am I misunderstanding this totally? This is the script I was using:

 

<?php

ob_start();

$Database = mysql_connect("localhost", "vars", "vars");

mysql_select_db("vars");

$fields = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");

$Username = mysql_result($fields,0,"username");

$dirname = $Username;

$filename = "on/cont/" . "$dirname";

if (file_exists($filename)) {

header ( "Location: " . "$filename" . "$dirname");

} else {

mkdir("on/cont/ " . "$dirname", 0777);

echo "welcome " . "$dirname" . "Your Area Is Being created.";

}

ob_end_flush();

?>

 

What I'm trying to do is replace the DB input with a SESSION Variable, as I need to make sure I have the right user. This is run when the user logs-in.

 

So if I run the code snippet you put up should it print the user name I'm using?
