Hi! How is possible to maintain a PHP variable defined on a PHP3 file (IMP 2.2.5, mailbox.php3) so that is available for another PHP3 file (compose.php3) and for future reloads of mailbox.php3? I have a variable called can_use_attachs (can_use_attachs) that is checked on an LDAP server on mailbox.php3 and used on compose.php3. The idea is just to check the LDAP server just once (the first time) and set that variable so that future reloads do not check the ldap server another time. I'm using the following code, but I suspect that produces a segmen- tation fault one time each about 4000 reloads (yes, I can reload the page thousands of times automatically, and when I reach about 4000 it produces a segmentation fault on token_cache.c): // the beginning of my mailbox.php3 file if( !isset( $can_use_attachs ) ) { $ds=ldap_connect("192.168.1.152"); if ($ds) { $r=ldap_bind($ds); $busca="uid=" . $imp->user; $sr=ldap_search($ds,"cn=Correo,o=sistemas.servicom2000", $busca); if( ldap_count_entries($ds,$sr) < 1 ) SetCookie( "can_use_attachs", 'n', time()+3600 ); else { $info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr); if( $info[0]["roomnumber"][0] == "s" ) SetCookie( "can_use_attachs", 's', time()+3600 ); else SetCookie( "can_use_attachs", 'n', time()+3600 ); } ldap_close($ds); } } And in compose.php3: <? if( $can_use_attachs == 's' ) { ?> <input type="hidden" name="attachmentAction" value=""> (etc...) <?php endif; ?> <?php } ?> Does anyone know a better way of doing the above? I don't know how to use PHP sessions (as used on Horde/IMP) so that I don't need cookies to set up that variable. PS: and if someone can see in the above code what could be the cause of the segmentation fault, please tell me. CU and thanks a lot. -- Santiago Romero Departamento de Sistemas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Av.
