something other than sessions

[justAnoob]

I use a lot of sessions and things are starting to get confusing....I use sessions for error and success messages and so on...... What else can I do to accomplish this??? I'm looking for something a little more organized.

 

example

<?php
$_SESSION['no_view'] = "You must be logged in to send messages.";
header("location: http://www.------.com/------.php");
exit();
?>

 

then on my page where the session is to be displayed..

<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['no_view']))
{
   unset($_SESSION['message']);
   unset($_SESSION['goodlog']);
   echo $_SESSION['no_view'];
}
?>

Then use a single page. There is absolutely no reason to waste the time having a browser redirect between pages and to write all the extra code to pass information between pages.

why even redirect, why not just stay on the same page that generates the errors!

You can also pass error codes in the URL:

 

example.com?error=1
example.com?error=2

 

if(isset($_GET['error']))
{
  switch($_GET['error'])
  {
    case 1:
      echo 'you suck';
      break;
    case 2:
      echo 'you suck even more';
      break;
    default:
      echo 'you are the suckiest of the sucky.';
  }
}

if(isset($_GET['error']))
{
  switch($_GET['error'])
  {
    case 1:
      echo 'you suck';
      break;
    case 2:
      echo 'you suck even more';
      break;
    default:
      echo 'you are the suckiest of the sucky.';
  }
}
