[SOLVED] Why doesnt this script register a session?

[JJohnsenDK]

Why doesnt this script register a session in tmp path?

 

<?
session_start();
if(isset($destroy)) {
session_destroy();
unset($name);
} else {
if(!session_is_registered("name")) {
	session_register("name");
	$name = "Spike";
}
}
?>
<p>SESSID: <?=$PHPSESSID;?>
<p>Navn: <?=$_SESSION['name'];?>
<form action="session2.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="reload" value="Genstart session"><br>
<input type="submit" name="destroy" value="Stop session">
</form>

<?
session_start();
if(isset($destroy)) {
session_unset();
session_destroy();
} else {
if(!is_set($_SESSION['name'])) {
	$_SESSION['name'] = "Spike";
}
}
?>
<p>SESSID: <?php echo session_id(); ?>
<p>Navn: <?php echo $_SESSION['name'];?>
<form action="session2.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="reload" value="Genstart session"><br>
<input type="submit" name="destroy" value="Stop session">
</form>

From the PHP Manual:

If you are using $_SESSION  (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use session_register(), session_is_registered(), and session_unregister().

 

So, try this instead:

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($destroy)) {
session_destroy();
unset($_SESSION['name']);
} else {
if(!isset($_SESSION['name'])) {
	$_SESSION['name'] = "Spike";
}
}
?>

Yeah, you have to send a variable to the session in order for it to truely exsist:

 

$_SESSION['var'] = 'value';
