[SOLVED] $_SESSION quesstion

[JJohnsenDK]

Hey

 

Im trying to make a dynamic languages script, where the user can change the languages on the website by clicking a link.

 

I have maincore.php where i select the languages (Dont mind the bad spelled langues, i mean languages):

 

<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['langues'])){
$_SESSION['langues'] = 2;
}

$langues = $_SESSION['langues'];
$settingsQuery = mysql_query("SELECT langues FROM settings WHERE settings_id = '$langues'");
$settings = mysql_fetch_array($settingsQuery);

define("LOCALE", BASEDIR."langues/");
define("LANGUES", $settings['langues']."/");

?>

 

Then i have the lan.php file where the $_SESSION should be reset to the languages the user have choosed:

 

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['langues'])){
session_unset();
session_destroy();	
$_SESSION['langues'] = $_GET['langues'];
header("location:login.php");
exit();
}else{
echo "ERROR!";
}
?>

 

At last i have a sample login page where the user can choose the languages:

<?php
session_start();
require_once("../maincore.php");
include LOCALE.LANGUES."login.php";


if(isset($_POST['login_submit'])){
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

$checkQuery = mysql_query("SELECT username, password FROM users WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password'");
$checkRow = mysql_fetch_row($checkQuery);

if($checkRow > 0){
	$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
	$_SESSION['status'] = 'logged';

	header("location:".BASEDIR."index.php");
	exit();
}else{
	$_SESSION['status'] = 'not logged';
	echo $langues['001'];
}

}

echo $lan['005']." ---- ".$_SESSION['langues'];

echo "<a href='lan.php?langues=1'>".$lan['006']."</a>";
echo "<br />";
echo "<a href='lan.php?langues=2'>".$lan['007']."</a>";
?>

<form action='<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>' method='POST'>
<p>
	<?php echo $lan['002']; ?><br />
	<input type='text' name='username' value='' />
</p>
<p>
	<?php echo $lan['003']; ?><br />
	<input type='password' name='password' value='' />
</p>
<p>
	<input type='submit' name='login_submit' value='<?php echo $lan['004'];?>' />
</p>
</form>

 

I think the problem lies in the lan.php file, because it seems to kill the $_SESSION but then it doesnt set it to $_GET['langues'];

 

Hope someone can help.

Well, for one you don't need to start the session over again...if you start it once then it's active no matter where in your domain you go...until you close the browser or manually end the session.

actully on any page where you using sessions (unless it is an embedded page) you need the session_start()....

 

try using the

 

unset($_SESSION['langues']);

 

function instead of killing the session with session_destroy();

Thats what i thought... anyways, any suggentions on the problem?

Try this...

 

$_SESSION['langues'] = $_GET['langues'];
session_write_close();
header("location:login.php");

What you need to do if you resetting a session variable to another value is use the unset(); function to clear the value of it...then reset it to the value...

 

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['langues'])){
unset($_SESSION['langues']);
$_SESSION['langues'] = $_GET['langues'];
header("location:login.php");
exit();
}else{
echo "ERROR!";
}
?>
