Multiple session variables

[heaps21]

Is it possible to register and store more than 1 session variable for a particular session, or would I have to find some alternative for the othre variables, like passing it to each page in a hidden field?
Cheers

ok .. not 100% sure but do you mean

lets say for example

session name is user

and teh variables that will be stored in the user session are

username
password
email etc etc etc or did you mean 3 variables with the same name ?

if i guessed correctly then yes you can

Yeah, I just want to store 2 different variables in the session. How do you do that then - i currently have

session_register("valid_user"); 

to store the first.
Cheers.

easy


ok so i take it valid_user is your session name


simply $_SESSION['yourvariablename] == "Value"

then repeat as needed
eg

$_SESSION['yourvariablename2] == "Value"
$_SESSION['yourvariablename3] == "Value"
hope that helps

but just the one equals for assignment ...

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['valid_user'] = 'whatever' ;
$_SESSION['IP'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] ;
//etc
?>

and 2 to check the value

<?php

if( $_SESSION['valid_user'] == 'whatever' ) { /*etc*/ } ;
?>

$_SESSION['my_brain'] != 'is perfectly fine'
