PHP Sessions

am 13.03.2010 01:29:41 von Martine Osias

Hi:

I need to store variables to send then between pages. I don't need the
variables in a database so I try to send them with sessions. The variables
don't seem to be there when I try to get them. What could be the problem.
Here are the pages where I store and retrieve the variables.

Page 1 (variables stored):

session_start();

$_SESSION['scripture_text'] = $row_scripture['ScriptureText'];
$_SESSION['scripture_ref'] = $row_scripture['ScriptureRef'];

?>

Page 2 (variables retrieved):

session_start();
include("includes/config.php");
?>

Are there any errors, either displayed or in the error log?

Do sessions work at all? Something simple, like

****************************
//a.php

session_start();
$_SESSION['test']="foo";
echo '';
?>

//b.php

session_start();
echo $_SESSION['test']; // should say "foo"
?>
*************************

... would be a good 1st test.

If that works, I'd suspect that $row_scripture['ScriptureText']
and friends are empty.

If it doesn't, I'd suspect a combination of very strict
browser privacy settings (disallow all cookies) with lame server
config (use_only_cookies), or that session support is missing
or disabled.

HTH,

Forgot to mention, you could check into the privacy
vs. server settings by doing:

session_start();
echo session_id();

on both pages. If they're different, then
this is the problem.

Hello Martine,

Try to make on the second page a
print_r ($_SESSION);

The sessions variables are OK. They don't print when I put them on the HTML
page with this code.

Thank you.

Don't use those sorts of tags.

Instead, use something like this:

Short tags end up causing more problems than they solve sometimes...

Hello Martine,

As you have been already told, the is not always supported.
However I'd suggest you to do the following (since I love this form of
tag):
«»

Note: I put within the tag only the variable.

That's still using short tags. The time you save on typing is nothing
compared to the time you spend trying to figure out why your script
doesn't work since you moved servers, or copied it to your live server,
or why you are having trouble using XML...

If the site is full of that code I'd make a start on replacing it. A
simple find/replace will work in cases like this.

I try to write my code so that I don't have to make unnecessary changes
to my php.ini. For example, what if I don't have access to my php.ini
and can't set a directive in my .htaccess file? What if I'm sharing my
code with someone? What if I need to work with outputting XML headers?
All of these factors I think outweigh any gains I would get from short
tags.

As for readability, I tend to use a text editor with syntax highlighting
which makes my code readable.

Ash

Hello Ashley,

And if the site is full of that code?)) I think it's worth to learn
what's really the reason of the fact that it doesn't work. Besides
that, it's more readable for me.
And the right thing that was said here is the following: check the
php.ini settings and change them if possible.
