PHP5 Sesseion Problem.

[php-hp]

Hi,

 

I have updated my server from php4.1 to php5.

Everything was grand until i noticed that my scripts using session_register was not holding the registered values.

 

Sample code from php4.1

***************************

<?php

session_start();

session_register("exprmt");

?>

***************************

Before any html headers are sent out!

 

And calling back using

***************************

<option value="exprmt" selected><? echo $exprmt; ?></option>

***************************

 

Worked fine in php4.1 with globals on "Internal server".

 

Have tried

***************************

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['exprmt'] - ' ';

?>

 

***************************

and calling back using

 

***************************

<option value="exprmt" selected><? echo $_SESSION['exprmt']  ?></option>

***************************

 

But still doesnt hold the value!

 

The page is calling itself using php_self

 

Any Ideas????

 

Cheers..........

session_register has long been depricated, to assign values to the session array simpl use...

 

session_start();
$_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar';

For your second set of code that you tried, turn on full php error reporting and then check your web server log file for any errors.

 

If that code is on one single page, it should work if the session is starting (unless the code in the short open <? tag is not being parsed by php and is simply showing up in the view source of the page in your browser.)

 

Beyond this, you would need to post your code to get specific help. For example $PHP_SELF is dependent on register globals and your page might or might not work depending on how it is being used.

Also in your new PHP.INI file, make sure the session save path is set correctly
