[SOLVED] session problem

[corillo181]

i'm clueless this was working just fine.. and sudddunly it stopped working i never even touche dit after i made it work..

every user function stopped working..this a quick exaplem so someone can tell me if i did something wrong..

[code]
<?php
session_start();  ?>

<? if(isset($_SESSION['username'])){ echo "
        <table align='left' id='useroptions'>
          <tr>
            <td background='images/BOTTLOM.jpg'><p>
            ".$_SESSION['username'] . " </p>            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td background='images/BOTTLOM.jpg'><a href='phpscript/logout.php'><font color='#000000'>LogOut</font></a></td>
          </tr>
        </table>"; }?>[/code]
and the user check side looks a litle like this
[code]<?php
session_start();  // Start Session
session_register("username");
include '../config/db.php';
// Conver to simple variables
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if($login_check > 0){
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
    foreach( $row AS $key => $val ){
        $$key = stripslashes( $val );
    }
        // Register some session variables!
        session_register('username');
        $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
        session_register('password');
        $_SESSION['password'] = $password;
        
        mysql_query("UPDATE users SET last_login=now() WHERE username='$username'");
        
        header("Location: ../index.php");
    }
}[/code]

i know the rule say to chekc out the firs tpost if any one has any session problems.. but is that i wont find any problme with my scrip because it was working fine for few days..i don't know why stopped working and i keep chekcing it and it don't work when the user tries to log in..

also in the data base shows the user is online and evn tell if they viewing a page but on the page all the users tools are not display

Not to use session_register() and $_SESSION. Just use $_SESSION. Read first caution box at:
[a href=\"http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-register.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-register.php[/a]

FYI: Take a look at our session troubleshooting guide:

i trying with that simple code to test it..
[code]<?PHP
session_start();
$_SESSION['test'] = 'Hello World!';
header('Location: read.php?' . SID);
exit;
?>[/code]
[code]<?PHP
session_start();
echo isSet($_SESSION['test']) ? $_SESSION['test'] : 'Not Set';
?>[/code]

and is coming out as not set, but i done everything i let my computer accept any kind of cokies.. you think might be the server? becuse yaho is a big company they shouldn't be having those kind of problem i think..
and for something as usefull as session i know they must have it aneble.. i was just using it yesterday it just out of no where stopped working.. i tryed al possible way and it doesn't work :.(..

toplay: So you're saying not use use both session_register('blah') and $_SESSION['blah']?

If I read the first caution right, it means that $_SESSION[] registers the session for me? So I'm just duplicating my code?

Yes, and possibly making it worse because you would be having register_globals on (a security risk) for session_register() to work properly. Plus taking up more memory for the extra variables and the values they hold.
