Sessions not passing properly

[Steve Fitzgerald]

I use sessions as part of my login script. One of the values passed is
userid. The userid seems to pass fine into the main part of the page,
but when I use userid in a navigation include I cannot get it to
display.

Here' what I mean.

Code for admin navigation:

function adminMenu(){
echo $userid;
@$result = mysql_query("SE LECT menuid,menulabe l,menuname,url, parent
from crc1.tbluspmatr ix u, crc1.tblmenu
m where
u.privid = m.priv_id and u.userid =
'$userid'
AND parent = '0' AND module_id = '1'
AND
view= '1' AND position='0' ORDER BY
lorder
ASC");
@$counter = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result)){
$path = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
@$class = ( $row['url'] == $path ? 'td_select' : 'td_root' );
echo '<td width=" " valign="top" class="'.$class .' "
style="border-right-width:
1px;border-left-width:
0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width:
0px;border-
color: white; border-style: inset;vertical-
align:middle;"> <a id="a_root_'.$c ounter.'"
border="0"
style="cursor:h and; text-align:top;"> <a

class="'.$class .'"onMouseover= "this.style.col or=\'black\'"
onMouseout="thi s.style.color=\ 'white\'"
onMouseout="thi s.style.color=\ 'white\'" href="'.$row
['url'].'">'.$row['menuname'].'</a> </td>';
}//end while

return;
}
?>

I tried echoing out the $userid value, but it did not work. The page
that this include is included in does have session_start() at the top.
I even tried using session_start() at the beginning of the above
function, but that did not work. As I said earlier in the post, the
userid does seem to pass properly to the page mycrc.php, but not to
the adminmenu_func. inc (which is included in mycrc.php).

Any ideas?

You need to pass the userid to the function
function($useri d)

Your pages main variables have no scope in a function unless you pass them
to it.
Hope this helps
