$_SESSION CHANGING

[plznty]

// SESSION TEST
if ($_SESSION['username']) {
require_once("../mysql.php");
// Find Username from Session ID

// Find Username from ID
$finduser="SELECT username FROM users WHERE id='$_SESSION[username];'";
$finduserquery=mysql_query($finduser)or die(mysql_error());
$userfetch = mysql_fetch_array($finduserquery);
// Set Username Variable
$userfromid = $userfetch['username'];
echo "lol" . ucwords($userfromid);
} else {
}

 

Everytime I load this page more than once when logged in, it seems to turn the variable blank. Therefore making the user not be able to view other pages that use a session.

Help?

Thanks

Where is session_start?

Why dont you set a session variable saying they are logged in and then don't query the database again if so?

[plznty]

I have done, the login section works but if I visit this page something in what I have just shown changes the session['username'] variable.

[revraz]

Nothing in the code you pasted changes the session variable.

I cannot understand why its changing then.

Confusing.

It apparently is okay without register_globals being on, but how can i do this without.

Why is register_globals on to begin with?

Why is register_globals on to begin with?

My web host provider has it on, what site do you get hosting off?

I want to change, they have on outdated things such as magic quotes.

You can't use your own php.ini file with them? If you can, you can disable those things for your site.
