I have the following lump of php code included first at the top of my file :

<?
//phpinfo();
session_start();

function session_defaults()
{
$_SESSION['logged'] = false;
$_SESSION['uid'] = 0;
$_SESSION['username'] = '';
$_SESSION['cookie'] = 0;
$_SESSION['remember'] = false;
}

$reset='false';
if (!isset($_SESSION['uid']))
{
$reset='true';
session_defaults();
}

if($_SESSION['uid']==0)
{
if(isset($LoginName))
{
$_SESSION['username']=$LoginName;
$_SESSION['uid']=1;
}
}
?>

However the session stuff doesn't seem to remember from page to page and the $reset flag is always set to true. I've tried setting the session.autostart to 0 and 1 but doesn't make any difference

please help.

 

if anyones interested I've fixed it with this dont trust examples [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img].

<?
//phpinfo();
session_start();

function session_defaults()
{
session_register('logged');
session_register('uid');
session_register('username');
session_register('cookie');
session_register('remember');
$GLOBALS['logged']=false;
$GLOBALS['uid']=0;
$GLOBALS['username']='';
$GLOBALS['remember']=0;
$GLOBALS['cookie']='';
$GLOBALS['superuser']=0;
}

$reset='false';
if (!isset($GLOBALS['uid']))
{
$reset='true';
session_defaults();
}

?>

 

I think the $_SESSION["foo"] = 1; is fine, it's just you need to session_register() all variables before you can use them.

You might have been affected by this though:

 

could be this aswell
"PHP Version 4.0.6"

thanks for the info.. I may roll back and see if I Can get it working the other way
