On my homepage is a login. If the username und password is correct i register the $_Session variables if (mysql_num_rows ($res) > 0) { $ligne = mysql_fetch_object ($res); // session_register ("x1","x2","x3","x4","x5"); $_SESSION["x1"] = "true"; $_SESSION["x2"] = $ligne->name; $_SESSION["x3"] = $ligne->mail; $_SESSION["x4"] = $ligne->kategorie; $_SESSION["x5"] = $ligne->rechte; In all php files in the same directory i can access this variables, but if i am in another directory i does not work. if have already read the session_registor is old and should not be used. I hope some can help me thx norman -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
