New to $_SESSION

Hello

First of: is there a place on www.php.net where this is described?
The search does not find it (I'd like to read more about $_POST etc
too...)

Well, I just tested something like:

echo "b".$_SESSION["test"];
$_SESSION["test"]="a";

and bith with a button (form, post) and a link (to the page itself), I
do not get the A at any time?
Is there a way to have session data in both cases?

I'd like to have when links are clicked and when popups are in use

session_start() is required.

Yes. Search on sessions.

Yes, see session_start();

Possible. But don't use popups. Many users (including me) have them
disabled - on purpose.

I need them for confirmation windows... I could have them all in one
window of course, but in my design it it better that way.

Yes, but as Jerry said: What will happen if somebody has a popup blocker?
Will your app fail?
Or are you targetting some intranet where you just know no popup
blockers are active?

When targetting the net at large, you better not rely on popups appearing.

It won't work on my system. And the last I heard, somewhere around
20-35% of users (depends on who's figures you believe) have popup
blockers installed.

But if you want to lose that many customers, that's up to you.

That few, eh?
I don't remember the last time I saw someone WITHOUT a pop-up blocker.

I'll think about it. I agree that I can make the design otherwise.
I only know one person using a pop-up blocker - and that is my
brother :-)

The best is that I discuss that with the customer. There are app 10
specific users for the system as of now.

Yea, well, experienced users do have them installed, but there are a lot
of people who don't know they exist, or how to activate them.

And, of course, there are those few who like popups. Fortunately,
however, there are few computers in mental institutions :-)
