RE: Please help: session variable

["ST Wong (ITSC)" <ST@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,  

Since it was migrated from old PHP version (5.3 or earlier), I replaced deprecated session_register(); with unconditionally initialization of session variables like following:

session_start();
//session_register('logined');
$_SESSION['logined'] = "";

Then posting the form will execute these codes and cleared the session variables...

Then modified the code to prevent overwriting the session variable if not null:

session_start();
if(!(isset($_SESSION['logined']))) {
  $_SESSION['logined'] = "";
}

Not sure if it's the best way to do that though it works now.
Sorry for the trouble caused to you all.

Thanks and rgds

	Would you explain this more fully?  I’m having similar problems with a script losing session variables.

	How did you fix it?
