php sessions

[deletedUser2352352]

Ok i understand how a session works and i use them often when creating a login system.

But can you run more then one session at a time?
Do the conflict with each other?
Do the cancel each other out?

If you can have more then one.
Do you have to state start session each time or just run a session_register("new_session");?

Cheers

What do you mean running more than one session? More than one session in an individual session?

[deletedUser2352352]

yeah more then one session. So i can store login items. Then another session to hold page data.

[skOOb]

You can't create multiple sessions per ... session? Anyway, just store the user data like $_SESSION['user']['user_id'] e.g.. Then user $_SESSION['page']['var'] if you want to separate the data. You can still access both anywhere.

[deletedUser2352352]

so if i have a session called

session_register("new_session_login");

I could open another session on say a different page say callled

session_register("new_session_pagedetails");

Would that work?

Read Me (http://us3.php.net/session_register). That will work, but be sure to read up on session_register and its constraints.

Yep, just set multiple sessions and it will work.

I like setting sessions like $_SESSION['loggin'] = TRUE;

cheers.

Yeah i've been reading up on this. Instead of using sion_register("new_session"); i can $_SESSION['new_session'].

It's easier if you just go:



session_start(); //top of the page

$_SESSION['username'] = $user;
//or
$_SESSION['username'] = "CriTiCeRz"
