Possible Duplicate:
Difference between session_register and $_SESSION[]

this might sound weird but my problem is this:

If user enters valid login details i take the ip address and the id of the user and put into:

 $_SESSION['ip']=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

and:

$_SESSION['id'];

and redirect to the welcome.php where i check if the session is already started :

if(!isset($_SESSION['id'])&&!isset($_SESSION['ip'])) {...redirect to error page..}

The problem is that if the user enter valid details he is not redirected to welcome.php.

I change $_SESSION[‘id’] to session_register(“id”); and everything work fine.

All this is on my local xampp server.I dont want to use session_register cuz it is deprecated in the newer versions of php, and its not recomended for using.

So please, how can i solve this ?

Answer 1

session_register implicitly calls session_start, which will make $_SESSION work. Explicitly call session_start before you access $_SESSION.
