Re: [PHP] ob_start & session_start
Sure, ob_start begins a buffer allowing you to display content in the browser before your script has finished executing. This is useful when loading a time intensive page to tell the user to wait. When you create a session (provide php is not configured otherwise) php attempts to store a cookie with the session id that corisponds to the session file on the server. If it cannot set this cookie it appends the session id to pages in the get format. If you were to call session_start() after the output buffering, content and consequentially the headers would have been already sent to the browser. Since cookies must be set in the headers and the headers must be set before any content is sent to the page, to use cookie based sessions you must begin the session before the buffer.

Re: [PHP] array carrying from one php page to another
you could just pass in in the address, eg:
www.example.com?var1=$var1&var2=$var2
to get them use $_REQUEST['var1']
to pass an array you could use serialize($var1) and unserialize($var1)

Re: [PHP] ob_start & session_start
I have never tried it but if it did work i doubt it would use cookies, it would probably pass it in the addresses or throw an error.

Re: [PHP] ob_start & session_start
Sorry it looked like the rest of your email was part of the previous one. To answer your question it is better to call session_start() before ob_start() On 12/8/05, Zack Bloom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have never tried it but if it did work i doubt it would use cookies, it > would probably pass it in the addresses or throw an error. > > On 12/8/05, Joe Harman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I guess this was just out of general curiousity...

Re: [PHP] Mime-type handling
mime types are very unreliable and should never be used for file type authentication (they can also be faked by users). Instead you could try using the extension of the file or an identifying statement in the file.

Notepad++ is inherently better then notepad (and textpad) and free. I wish I had the punch card version. I have to rewire my php box everytime I want to change something.
