Need help with session vars

[JurkMonkey]

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to create a login page. I need to store the username once validated so I figured, use a session variable...

So I'm setting the variable

session_register("loginusername");
				$_SESSION["loginusername"] = $_POST["txtUsername"];

Then when I re-post back to the same page I don't have the session variable anymore...

any help?

 

[jpadie]

session_start();
$_SESSION['loginusername']=trim($_POST['txtUserName']);

To flesh out jpadie's answer....


If you look at the PHP online manual page for session_register(), you will see a number of yellow blocks marked "Caution". Those cautions make it clear that the recommended practice for registering session variables is to do as jpadie has posted, simply invoke session_start() and populate or depopulate the $_SESSION superglobal array. PHP will take care of the rest.
