Session variable in include file

I can't seem to access sessions variables from include files.

If I use the include file like this it I cant get the session
variables:
<?php
session_start() ;
require("url/to/inc/file.php");
?>

If I enter the url to the include file in my address bar, I can get
the sessions variables.

Don't require an URL!

require 'http://server.com/path/to/inc/file.php'; // WRONG
require '/var/www/htdocs/path/to/inc/file.php'; // ok

Hmmm, didn't seem to work. I have set session.use_cookies = 1 and session.use_trans_sid = 1 in my php.ini file. Index.php contains: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?php ini_set("session.use_cookies", "off"); ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", "on"); session_start(); $_SESSION = ""; $_SESSION = ""; echo "<form method='POST' action='login.php'>

This various pages query a MySQL database to get information (mostly to generate a catalogue and news page). Occasionally when loading a page I simply get the error "No database selected" when the PHP script attempts to run the query. Usually I can press reload in my browser (Netscape, IE, and Opera) and the...

Forgive me if this doesn't make too much sense but I've been working on this project all day and my brain is a bit fried. To make some of my code more readable I made a file (called urls.inc) which I include in my PHP scripts. This file contains functions to return a URL with the session id tagged on the end. I've now found out that the session id returned by the functions in urls.inc is not necessarily the current, and more...

Hi, I am experiencing a problem with recalling a session variable which stores whether a person is logged in to a "members only" section of a website. This area of the site has been working flawlessly for a couple of years under Windows 2000 server but now is very inconsistent following a recent upgrade to Windows server 2003. Following a login, the login info is passed to this asp page that checks an Access database for the user name and...

Hi, I've a problem with trying to retrieve a session variable in an include file. Basically, the main asp creates a session variable: <% Session("var1") = "Hello" %> And then when I click on a button it refers to the include file, which I believe is all client-side code as there are no server <% %> tags.

Something weird is happening here. I inherited some code that looks like what is shown below. The problem is that when menu1.php is included, the session variables are not known in homepage.php. If I comment out the include of menu1.php, then homepage.php sees the session variables. I have done this with and without session_start() in menu1.php. I can't see why it would lose the session variables. tmpl.php: ========= <?php include...

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.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
