session_register help plz.

[Leeoniya]

PHP Code:

session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['pears'])) {
    echo "pears were not set";
    session_register ("pears");
    $pears = dmondindex("pear");
}

if (!isset($_SESSION['pears'])) {
    echo "rounds were not set";
    session_register ("rounds");
    $rounds = dmondindex("round");
} 


dmondindex is a fairly lengthy parsing function that only needs to be done once per session. the above code doesn't seem to set the session variables properly because every time i refresh my browser i get the echo messages, instead of just the first time around

thanks,
Leon

It looks like register_globals might be turned off on your server (this has been the default setting since PHP 4.2.0, and it is removed altogether in version 6).

You should instead use the $_SESSION array:

yep already solved. thanks.

PHP Code:

session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['pears'])) {
    $_SESSION['pears'] = dmondindex("pear");
}

if (!isset($_SESSION['rounds'])) {
    $_SESSION['rounds'] = dmondindex("round");
}

$pears = $_SESSION['pears'];
$rounds = $_SESSION['rounds'];
