[PHP] seesions problem
I've been using the same code to verify a persons login for more than a
year - but I've been having some problems lately - I get past the login, but
the session times-out after about 30 seconds or a minute. My new server is
using PHP ver 4.3.3. I've also read the docs on "sessions" and I've taken
their suggestion and have stopped using session_register("user_id"). I now
use $_SESSION["user_id"]).
But, like I said after about a short minute, I get the following error
message:
Notice: Undefined index: user_id in /home/pance/public_html/menu.php on line
13
Has anybody else come accross this problem - and how did you solve it?

[PHP] Re: seesions problem
Thanks to everybody's suggestions. But the problem won't go away just by
ignoring the "Notice". I'm using $_SESSION["user_id"]) as a validation tool
to verify that the user has logged in. I have looked at all the vars in
phpinfo() (I don't have access to the server ini files). And I can't see
anything wrong.
For example, today, I had the same page open for more than an hour, and my
session code worked well. But other times, I'll work for 30 seconds and it
will time out.
I've asked my server host - and they say they havn't made any changes.
I've asked my internet provider - and they're clueless.
I've played with the settings on my MS-IE (ver 5.5) - still no luck.
Yes, I use "session_start() " at the beginning of all my PHP files.
Currently, I'm still in development - but the site will go up live by Monday
or Tuesday and it would be very embarrasing if the users were told to login
every 30 seconds.

[PHP] Session and MS-IE6
I verify users to my website with sessions. It's been working fine for the
past couple of years, but recently I started having some problems using
sessions for example:
session_register("user_id");
if (!(user_id)){
and then I read the PHP manual and it suggested this instead:
session_start();
if (!$_SESSION['user_id']){
which worked on my machine (Win98 and MS-IE5.5). But today I tried to login
to my page from the client's computer using MS-IE 6 and I got the error:
undefined index 'user-id'
Does anybody know what's going on? Is there a bug with MS-IE6 when using
sessions? I've read some of the other comments here about IE6 but they apply
to forms, not sessions.

I've tried MS-IE 5.5 and Mozilla 1.4b on my Win98 computer. They both work.
I've tried MS-IE6 on my clients Win98 computer - it didn't work.

My server is runing Linux 2.4.24 #3; PHP-4.3.3; Zend 1.3.0

I'm not sure what you mean by "session management". I use:
session_start();
at the top of every PHP page and I try to verify the user by:
if (!$_SESSION['user_id']){
printf("You have not logged in. Please click this to
do so.");
exit();
}

[PHP] Re: Sessions, sessions and... sessions
Hi Puiu,
I've been having the same problem too. My code that worked up until recently
just stopped working. I did change from using:
session_register("user_id");
if (!(user_id)){
to using:
session_start();
if (!$_SESSION['user_id']){
Now it works with my computer Win98 and MS-IE5.5 but not on my client's
computer Win98 and MS-IE6.
I think there's something seriously wrong somewhere (either PHP or MS). I'll
keep you posted if I find a solution.

Re: [PHP] Session and MS-IE6
You are correct Richard. Thanks for stating the obvious. The reason I get
the "undefined index.." error message is because IT DOES NOT EXIST. How does
this resolve my "session" problem?
Let me repeat - my code works with MS-IE 5.5 but not MS-IE6.
