Ben, If you grab the resource and store it in a variable, you certainly should be able to send it via GET or POST. For that matter, you should be able to store the information in a SESSION variable too, so I'm not sure what is going wrong. Could you email the code you are using to grab the resource variable and the code to store it in a session? - Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Mack [mailto:benni@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 11:03 AM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Having resource variables over several scripts Hey, I am trying to have e.g. a file opened over several scripts. When opening a file with "fopen" I receive a variable of the type resource (like "Resource ID #3"), but when I try to save this variable in the SESSION and try to use it on another page, I get a "null" variable. Because I need to have the same and exact resource (not opened every time I load a new page) and since it is apparently not possible to store it in a session, I wanted to ask if somebody had the same issue once, and maybe there is some help out there. Could I somehow serialize the resource, then give it to another page via GET or POST? I would really appreciate if somebody has some hints... Thanks, benni. -SDG- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
