Sessions question?

[darkfreaks]

when using session_register which is the preferred way to do it?

 

 

<?php
//depracated version 

session_register("name");?>

or

<?php

// prefferred version

$_SESSION["name"];?>

[revraz]

use session_start() with $_SESSION

[darkfreaks]

well im using session_register but according to php.net its depracated and tells me to use $_SESSION instead, so should i go back and change it? ???

If you want it to work with future version of PHP you should.

session_register(), session_is_registered(), and session_unregister() are all dependent on register globals being on. They became obsolete in php4.2 in the year 2002. DON'T use them, even if you happen to be on a server with register globals on, because register globals and all the functions that depend on them have been completely removed in PHP6.
