Session help please
 

Here is the code:
****************
session_start();

if (!session_is_registered("user")){
$user = new usertrack;
session_register("user");
echo "new";
};
**************
This seems to be executing for every page when it is part of my biggger program, yet seems to work fine on its own. My test script was a bit simpler, since I did not use an object.

session_start();

if (!session_is_registered("test")){
$test = "TESTING";
session_register("test");
echo "TEST";
};

I am 99% sur eit was working until I made some other changes in the program, but I can't be positive.

What kind of bug should I be looking for? This is driving me nuts.

The code posted first is working great by itself, but when tied into the rest of the system, somehow it seems to get lost between pages.

Does anyone know of a way to inspect the session registered variables on a remote host? If this was my own Linux install, I could do it, but have no idea how to do it in a shared hosting environment. I am hoping there is some tool like phpinfo() that will show me session variables and objects in a useful format.

:confused:

What exactly is getting lost? the session or the variables in the session?

Was PHP compiled with --enable-trans-sid?
Do you have session.use_trans_id on?
echo ini_get("session.use_trans_sid");


Was PHP compiled with --enable-track-vars?
Do you have track_vars enabled?

I guess I learned a lesson here. Never program after 3am. In a previous late night session, I must have had some stupid reason to insert a Session_destroy() into the code, but can't imagine what it is now. Due to the modular nature of what I am building, it took me more than two days to find it. Why are bugs always in the last place you look for them ?

Because as soon as you find them, you look no further. ;)

You win one gold star.

Cool site Mark. !!
I will be joining up.

Hehe, good one.
