PHP - Can I Assign Normal Variables The Value Of My Session Variable
i have Created a Session with this code $_SESSION['USER_NAME'] = trim($_POST['username'])
How can i access the $_SESSION['USER_NAME'] in other Pages ; and will this code for $var = $_SESSION[USER_NAME] can i get the SESSIOn value in " $var" variable ?? Similar TutorialsScenario: My page generates several PHP variables. Some of those variables get posted to another page. Question: If a variable is to be assigned to a Session, is there any reason to assign this value to a regular PHP variable? Example: When an API generates a "shipping label tracking number, which is better, "A" or "B" or subtle variation "C":
A.) ... and then use $_SESSION["trackingNumber"] throughout the rest of my script (like this: echo "Hello, here's your tracking number: ".$_SESSION["trackingNumber"]).
B.) ... and then use "$trackingNumber" throughout the rest of my script (like this: echo "Hello, here's your tracking number: ".$trackingNumber).
C.) ... and then use "$trackingNumber" throughout the rest of my script (like this: echo "Hello, here's your tracking number: ".$trackingNumber). Thank you! I've always wondered about this. Which is best?
Hello everyone, I can get Test 2 to successfully operate the if statement using a variable variable. But when I try the same method using a session variable (Test 1) the if statement is not executed. Please could you tell me why the if statement in Test 1 is not being executed? Code: [Select] <?php # TEST 1 $_SESSION[test_variable] = "abcd"; $session_variable_name = "_SESSION[test_variable]"; if ($$session_variable_name == "abcd") { echo "<br>line 373, abcd<br>"; } # TEST 2 $test_variable = "efgh"; $test_variable_name = "test_variable"; if ($$test_variable_name == "efgh") { echo "<br>line 379, efgh<br>"; } ?> Many thanks, Stu Question about variable variables and using session variables for them. O.K. So if I have: $foo = 3; $_SESSION['bar'] = "foo"; $$_SESSION['bar'] should equal the value of $foo, however I can't get it to work. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong..... is it formatting??? Thanks, Thomas I have this simple while loop which retrieves data from a mysql query and displays several links on my homepage. I would like to avoid using the php get function and add query strings to my urls I am thinking of using session variables but I need help and I'm pretty sure this can't be done. When a visitor clicks a link from the several ones displayed by the while loop, that particular variable would be set in a session. In my code, the session will always send the last var Can this be done? Code: [Select] <? session_start(); // Start Session Variables $result = mysql_query("my query"); while($slice = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ $url = $slice['url']; $name = $slice['name']; ?> <a href="<? echo $url; ?>"><? echo $name; ?></a> <? } $_SESSION['name'] = $name; // Store session data ?> does anyone knows how to fill this value to a variable (code below works on the screen): Code: [Select] (str)$txt->value; echo (str)$txt->value; I need to get the value from the code above into $myvalue (code below does not work): Code: [Select] (str)$txt->value; $myvalue = (str)$txt->value; echo $myvalue; I have a page that lists out some basic information about each quiz this particular student has taken (call it "quiz summary"). I am creating another page that will have all details of a particular quiz by itself (call it "quiz detail"). If I have a link for each quiz on the "quiz summary" page, how do I tell the "quiz detail' page which link they clicked on? Or which quiz they have selected. I was thinking it would work if I assigned a session variable to each link and then the "quiz detail" page could verify which returns true still and show details for that quiz. Would this logic work? Npot sure how to do it anyone though. thanks for any help! Hi everybody, im reading up on arrays and im still stuck... Is it possible to assign an array to a variable? I need something like... Code: [Select] &needvariable = $row->User Hopefully this makes sense... basically, I have one calculation that relies on the value returned by an if statement, but i can;t for the life of me figure it out correctly... Here is what i am trying to accomplish: Here is the code for the IF i need to get the value of if ($loadedMiles < 500) { (500 - $loadedMiles) * .25 * $mainRate; } And here is the reason why i need it: if ($loadSize == "Full") { $loadedmiles + thevalueoftheif; } basically i will need to have a way to get the values of the functions in the IF statements if that makes any sense... thanks in advance! Hello All, I have two php files original.php and return.php retrun.php file returns a variable after I pass $channel_name to it Code: [Select] return $return_variable; I want to assign this return variable to a variable in original.php Something like this Code: [Select] $results = include ('return.php?channel='.$channel_name.'');I am not sure how to do the above code. When I call the return.php from a browser it works properly. Thanks for any help Why doesn't this code work... Code: [Select] // Initialize variables. $form_value = ''; $form_value = $_POST['form_value']; I get this error... Quote Notice: Undefined index: form_value Thanks, Debbie Running a simple query: SELECT team, rank from table ORDER BY rank ASC returns 8 records in order from 1 to 8 I then want to a assign a new variable to each that I can use for later queries ie: team with rank 1 = $team1 team with rank 2 = $team2 team with rank 3 = $team3 etc.... Thanks in advance. does anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data.

For some unapparent reason, i'm getting errors stating that $user and $priv are undefined variables, though I've attempted to define $user as being equal to $_SESSION['name'], using $user to look up the the user's privilege level (stored as the su column ) in the SQL table, and then where the result of the sql query is $priv which is then evaluated in an if statement. I can't seem to figure out why this might not be working. The code I'm using:
<?php
session_start();
function verify() {
//verify that the user is logged in via the login page. Session_start has already been called.
if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) {
header('Location: /index.html');
exit;
}
//if user is logged in, we then lookup necessary privleges. $_SESSION['name'] was written with the login name upon login. Privleges // are written in db as a single-digit integer of of 0 for users, 1 for administrators, and 2 for special users.
$user === $_SESSION['name'];
//Connect to Databse
$link = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", "database user", "password", "database");
if (!$link) {
echo "Error: Unable to connect to MySQL." . PHP_EOL;
echo "Debugging errno: " . mysqli_connect_errno() . PHP_EOL;
echo "Debugging error: " . mysqli_connect_error() . PHP_EOL;
exit;
}
//SQL Statement to lookup privlege information.
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT su FROM accounts WHERE username = $user", MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT)) {
//LOOP TO CYCLE THROUGH SQL RESULTS AND STORE Privlege information as vairable $priv.
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$priv === $row["su"];
}
}
// close SQL connection.
mysqli_close($link);
// Verify privleges and take action. Only a privlege of "1" is allowed to view this page. A privlege of "2" indicates special
//accounts used in other scripts that have certain indermediate additional functions, but are not trusted administrators.
if ($priv !== 1) {
echo $_SESSION['name'];
echo "you have privlege level of $priv";
echo "<br>";
echo 'Your account does not have the privleges necessary to view this page';
exit;
}
}

...anyone know anything about Internet Explorer not printing values from session variables. It works on Firefox but not on Internet Explorer. The session variable value works find on the web page but click on Print preview and it dissapears and will not print. Say I have a dropdown menu consisting of user specific options. I need to be able to set a session variable depending on the option chosen & then re-access it on the following page. Can someone give me a crash course on how to utilize session variables? they recently reset my website so my php.ini file has been adjusted. One of my sites is no longer passing a session variable to the next page. I am sure its one of the settings being reset. here is the data from my phpinfo file.

I'm brand new to this forum, so sorry if I do something wrong... I'm someone who has thought myself to code in php to add dynamic objects to my basic static websites. I have had no formal education. This is not my first project however. I'm having problems with session variables working fine up to a point when I call a new file and then all my session variables are lost. I have tried everything, but cannot keep them alive when I get into this or any other new file. I display a form, get user data submitted, then display a next form and after the user submits this next form all the session variables are lost. Anyone have any idea what is killing my session variables? Thanks in advance. Hi Can some steer me in the right direction. I am having issues subtotaling 2 session variables: <td>'.$_SESSION['itemqty'][$key].'*'.$_SESSION['itemprice'][$key].'</td> Can you advise if I am doing this right? Cheers I get the following error when I try to pass a value to a methiod in a loop: Warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /Users/staceyschaller/Sites/dev_zone/ckwv2/classes/class.php on line 670 This one has me very baffled. It will work the first time, and seems to work every other time, so I have no clue what is wrong. Here is the code: This code is part of my "display" class: function display_partner ($type,$loc,$rand=0,$narrow=0) { $this->partners = new partner($this->cxn); $display = ' <div id="cont_info" class="partner-list"> <div> <h3 class="settings">'.ucfirst($loc).'

It is formatted as a string. When it assigns the value to $this->partner->id, however, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. It's probably something obvious, but I've racked my brain to see what it is. Any ideas? I have a PHP page that offers various information from a single text file. This text file is encrypted on the server HD. Upon initial entry into the page, the user enters an encryption/decryption KEY and the encrypted file is decrypted to clear text and it is available for viewing. I have some parameters that I store in PHP session variables. I do this since various subsequent actions by the user will require these parameters. The code is written and the whole process seems to work well. Since the info in these session variables is sensitive, I need to understand WHERE they are stored. I know that it is a file on the HD, but after hours of reading the PHP Manual on sessions, I am not finding where (HD directory) that storage is. I have a typical shared hosting account for my web site. Mostly I want to discover is, are the session variables in y User/file hierarchy, or are they stored in a system area where the PHP is installed. Whew. Sorry this was so long.
Thank you, |
