Problem with $_SESSION and header("Locatio n:...

Session variables set before a header("Locatio n: whatever") are not
being written.

And yes, before the header() call, I have session_write_c lose() but the
result is the same. This problem is with PHP 4.3.10 on my hosting
providers' server (and obviously I wouldn't like the hassle of changing
hosting providers), but it works OK on some other PHP 4 and PHP 5
servers.

Is there any workaround?

Disregard. I'm really stupid. It seems that register globals was left
enabled on this server and the variables in the session were
overwritten by the variables in the script. Why would anyone be so lazy
to use register globals is beyond me....

Hi there, I have a php script that does some form input validation. As it verifies each field if the field has incorrect data, it appends an error message to an $error array. E.g. if (an_error = true) { $errors.="<tr><td>You have note entered a surname. This is mandatory date of birth incorrectly.</td></tr>"; }

I'm working on a very simple peace of php where basically there is a form and 3 buttoms. One refreshed the page, one posts the form, and another one (since this form contains values of a record) deletes the record. The sintax is this one: if ($delete) { header ("Location: $redirect?del=$code&table=$tab"); exit; }

Hi, I am moving some scripts from a UNIX box to a Windows box. A data entry form calls a PHP script the updates the records from the form.

Hello, I'm building a simple shopping cart to work with PayPal. I'd like to have the user post his basket to my page, validate the input, then redirect him _with his validated form data_ to PayPal using header("Location:"). I could just have the user submit his form to PayPal, but then I don't have any control over what he submits (tweaking the form is easy). I can include the form data as a search string in the redirect URL but that creates...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
