Session Not Storing ID
I am attempting to create a login in script using a session variable to hold the user id. I have got the log in facility working. Just before I redirect the user I set the session variable to the ID.
Then when I get to the next page I check to see if the session exists, if it does then I output it. The only problem is that instead of outputting the ID I keep getting 'Session ID: Resource id #7' Code:

Storing Object In Session
I'm trying to figure out how to store an object in session. To try this, I have apache2 and php5 running on my windows machine. I used the 2 files below. First i run test.php, which creates the object, puts some data in it, and stores it in the session. test2.php retrieves the object from the session and prints the data. Works fine on my windows machine. However, when I upload these 2 files to my hosting provider, then it does not work anymore. I get no errors, but the object seems to be empty. The provider is running php4.3 ... Can someone help me find a way to fix this? Code:

Storing Variables In A Session
I'm sending a number of variables between 2 pages using the form GET method, and I want to store them in a session. The variables are basically called after dates and they will equal "yes" if the user has selected them. Eg. they might have selected 3 tickboxes in page 1: $07042007 = yes $18042007 = yes $22042007 = yes which get sent to page 2 via the URL is there any way of storing these in session variables of the same names?

Storing Data In Session
Have a question about storing data in session. I have a blog site with users of course. Instead of having to make a call to getUserData() each time I want user data inside a function (or defining it globally) I thought about storing the data in a session variable and doing one of two things. Keeping that throughout the lifetime of the session, and only re-querying if a change has been made since the request was pulled (Date field in the user table of last_modified) or just storing it in session and un setting the data each page. Not sure which (if any) is better. Most likely there will be about 20 fields stored, username, email, and some options the user is able to set which should only be boolean variables. I think storing it in session and testing against the timestamp would work great but before I start coding this for my whole site would like to know some input.

Storing Variables In Session
I am re-creating the insurance booking form here storing variables such as telephone number and address are fine as the have a single and unique name to reference them to. However with the list of names & DOB - because the amount of rows produced depends on how many the user specifies I do know what method to use to recall them when I want to display them on screen a couple of pages later. I have managed to give each text box name on every row a unique reference i.e. "surname1" "dob1" "surname2" "dob2" So its just finding out the way to recall them each.

Storing An Object In A Session Variable
Is it safe to store an object in a session variable, allowing it to be unserialized without the class definition loaded in some cases, then, later, unserialize with the class definition loaded and continue using normally? e.g. page 1: load class definition, start session, create new object, store in session variable page 2: start session, don't access object stored in session page 3: load class definition, start session, access properties / methods of object stored in session The PHP manual says It is strongly recommended that you include the class definitions of all such registered objects on all of your pages . . . If you don't and an object is being unserialized without its class definition being present, it will lose its class association and become an object of class stdClass without any functions available at all . . . What I am wondering is whether that explanation should be qualified by "for that request". That is, does unserializing the object without the class definition loaded only cripple the object for that request, or does it permanently damage it when it is reserialized? I tried a quick, simple test by creating three pages that behave as described above, and it appeared to work fine.

Storing Session Info In MySQL
I've written a login system which uses session variables to store details about the user. The site isn't holding sensitive data, so this isn't a problem. What I'd like to do though, is store each login in mySQL and use it to automatically log the user back in next time around. Also want to use the logged in information for statistical information, such as how many registered users are logged in, and how many guests are going around on the site. I know vBulletin uses a system similar to this, by storing the session ID in a database and using it from there. Can anyone explain roughly how this would work for logging in the first time, and relogging in next time?

Storing A Cart Object Within A PHP Session
I'm currently building an object-oriented shopping cart with PHP 4.3.2 and MySQL 4.0.14. I am looking at storing a Cart object within a PHP session, however I am not completely sure on the best way to achieve this. I have read up and there seems to be varying advice. Should I need to serialise and unserialise the object or is this automatic and should I be using session_register()? For reference, register_globals is off.

Storing An MD5 Hash Of The Login Time In The Session
I am half way through making a site you can only do certain stuff if logged in to. So far, you are logged in if there is a session variable with your username, but I got thinking that presumably someone who worked this out could make a cookie file with this info in and pretend to be another user. So... what's the recommended way? I thought of storing an MD5 hash of the login time in the session and in the database too, then on each page, comparing the session variable to that in the db. Theory being, if a hacker had tried making their own cookie file they wouldnt have the right hash.

Session Problem: Session Exists, But Session Variables Don't Lasts
I have some troubles with session variables. I can easily create a session, but the variable I append to global session array ( $_SESSION) lasts only until the end of current function. I prepared an example that can demonstrate the problem (see code bellow): The program flow is this: (1) It starts with "session_start()" and displays "login_form()". (2) When user enters his username and password, it goes to "login()" function which sets $_SESSION variables. (3) This function also "Echoes" session_id and user name to the screen. (4) Then it goes to "MyProgram()" function. It only "Echoes" the same variables to the screen. Strange is, that the session_id is the same in (3) and (4), but the user name ($_SESSION["username"]) is only in (3), but not in (4). By other words - $_SESSION["username"] variable filled up by "login()" function is immediately cleared. I don't know why. There must be something missing, but after 3 days of watching it, I can not find a problem here. =========================================== <? Function login($uzivatel, $heslo) { $_SESSION["username"] = $uzivatel; $_SESSION["pass"] = $heslo; $U_Name=$_SESSION['username']; echo "Login username: $U_Name<BR>"; echo "Login session ID: "; echo session_id(); echo "<BR>"; } Function login_form() { echo ("<DIV ALIGN='center'> <H1>Test</H1> <P>Please enter your username and password:</P> <form action='test.php' method='get'> <INPUT TYPE='HIDDEN' NAME='login' VALUE=TRUE> <TABLE BORDER=Ɔ'> <TR> <TD ALIGN='right'><U>U</U>ser name:</TD> <TD><INPUT NAME='uzivatel' SIZE=25 ACCESSKEY='U' TYPE='TEXT'></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD align='right'><U>P</U>assword:</TD> <TD><INPUT NAME='heslo' SIZE=25 ACCESSKEY='P' TYPE='PASSWORD'></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN='RIGHT'><INPUT NAME='OK' ACCESSKEY='O' TYPE='SUBMIT' VALUE='OK' TABINDEX=3></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </FORM></DIV></HTML>"); } Function MyProgram() { $U_Name=$_SESSION['username']; echo "Program username: $U_Name<BR>"; echo "Program session ID: "; echo session_id(); echo "<BR>"; } { session_start(); if ($_SESSION['username']): MyProgram(); else: { if (!$login): login_form(0); else: login($uzivatel, $heslo); MyProgram(); endif; } endif; } ?> ===========================================

Storing Array In A Row
I run a site with staff-submitted reviews, and most of them are written by one author. However, we also do "multiple" reviews. Up until now I just had a userid for a 'Multiple' account and submitted them under that, but this makes it harder to print lists of all the reviews by one person, so ideally I wanna make a multiple select form so we can just select all the contributors and have the values saved in the database - in one row (something like "56,34,21" etc). I've coded a multiple select form with all the authors of articles for my site on, and I want to store the results of this in one row so I can grab them as an array later - how can I go about doing this? I just googled and came across using <select name="author[]"> in my HTML, and then using serialize() to process it, but it fails. When I run the following code, the value for 'multiplearray' remains at 0 whether I select single OR multiple values on the form: <?php $dbhost = ### $dbuser = ### $dbpass = ### $dbname = ### $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql'); mysql_select_db($dbname); if(isset($_POST['save'])) { $author = serialize($_POST['author']); $query = "INSERT INTO review_test (multiplearray) VALUES ('$author')"; mysql_query($query) or die('Error ,query failed'); echo "Query successful!"; } echo "<form name='test' method='post' action=''>"; $query2 = "SELECT Staff_id, displayname FROM users WHERE userlevel !=0 ORDER BY username"; $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error()); echo "<select name='author[]' id='author[]' multiple='multiple' size=ཆ'>"; while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2, MYSQL_NUM)) { list($Staff_id, $displayname) = $row2; echo "<option value='$Staff_id'>$displayname</option>"; } echo "</select>"; echo "<br><br><input name='save' type='submit' id='save' value='Post Review'>"; echo "</form>"; ?>

Storing Arrays
Im trying to figure out a good way to store an array in mysql, and be able to retrieve the entire array, back into an array. Im building a form that allows authors to submit "Tags" for their books, so people can search on these "Tags" and it will search the Authors table in mysql for matching tags, so that readers can simply enter a tag, and find books that match the tags. For example: Thru a form, an author might type php,mysql,development - Those would then by submitted by a form, So what function could i use to put those into an array? Then how would i store the array in mysql and be able to retrieve it back into an array, for example /author.php?author=mike If mike's tags were php,mysql,development id like to list that on the php page next to his book. So what im trying to do is, 1. Get comma seperated values and put them into an array. 2. Store the array in mysql, and be able to retrieve it back into an array(i know database functions, just not sure what datatype i should use for the column to store these in).
