PHP Session Help

[lilywong]

I have define the session in login.php, and index.php can retrieve it from login.php, however when i click a hyperlink to page1.php, i cannot get the session. i have check through but i can't find the error, below is my source code. thanks.

[b]login.php[/b]
$this_user = new Obj_UserRole($UserID);  // UserID is taken from login username
// register sessions is in this line/
$user = $this_user;


[b]index.php[/b]
session_start();
$user = $_SESSION["user"];
if (session_is_registered("user"))
{ 
    echo "is register";
    echo $user->user_role; //this can print out successfully !
}
else
{ 
    session_register("user");
}

<a href="page1.php">CLICK TO PAGE 1</a>
[b]
page1.php[/b]
session_start();
if (session_is_registered("user"))
{ 
    echo "is register";
    echo $user->user_role; //this CANNOT print out successfully ! I wonder why ???????
}
else
{ 
    session_register("user");
}

Because... whatever $user is, it is [b]not[/b] a session variable.

[lilywong]

but how come i can print out the dispaly in index.php ????

so how should i define the session in login.php or index.php, so that other pages also can get the session variable ? thanks thanks

Because of this...

[code=php:0]
$user = $_SESSION["user"];
[/code]

[trq]

Also... be aware that the use of [url=http://php.net/session_register]session_register[/url]() has long been depricated.

what's the probelm with this line ? i use this to retrive the session, should i disable it ?

[lilywong]

login.php
$this_user = new Obj_UserRole($UserID);  // UserID is taken from login username
// register sessions is in this line/
$user = $this_user;

===============================
function Obj_UserRole($ID)
{
    $this->userid=$ID;
    // some database query here......
  // so can retrive the db result, become
  $this->user_role = $db->field('Role');
}
===========================

so when i echo something in login.php,
$user = $_SESSION["user"];
echo $user->user_role; // it works.

There is nothing wrong with that line! You actually need to add that line to [b]page1.php[/b] if you expect

[code=php:0]
echo $user->user_role;
[/code]

to work.

[lilywong]

well i added the line echo $user->user_role; in page1.php, but it comes out blank page, it print nothing. :(

[trq]

Post your actual (relevent) code for each page.

[lilywong]

it seems like, if i include(page1.php), when i echo $user->user_role, i can see the display.

but if i use hyperlink, the session is gone. :(

Read my previous post.

Sorry... but I dont see anywhere in your code where your setting any $_SESSION variables. Keep in mind (as I said many posts ago) session_register() has long been depricated.

You might also want to look at using the header() function to force a redirect instead of uisng include() as some hack.

Thats what I was going to say. There's a new way of doing it now. You just have to set the session...

[lilywong]

huh ? i did it there under index.php
session_start();
$cur_user = $_SESSION["cur_user"];

i have to do it in the old way as i'm chaning people's coding. i cannot simply change it to the new syntax coz it will effect the whole system.
any idea about it if i want to keep on with the old syntax?

[pixy]

I mean the if (session_is_registered) is associated with the session_register() function... you could just use if (isset($_SESSION['cur_user'])); instead...

I dont know if it matters though.

All that does is sets $cur_user to $_SESSION['cur_user']. Where do you assign a value to $_SESSION['cur_user']?

[lilywong]

it doesn't work :(

I have already assign the  $_SESSION['cur_user'] in index.php. but it still not working :(

No kidding. Your missing the basics. Maybe go find a tutorial on how to use sessions.

WHERE? POST THE RELEVENT CODE!
