    Variable Issue

    Once a user logs in I create a global array variable to store all their info using the below.

    PHP Code:
    $UserDetails mysql_fetch_row($sSQL);
    $GLOBALS['UserDetails'] = $UserDetails;
    echo 
    "Hello $UserDetails[0]"//This displays the users name 
    The problem is when I use the below on another php page the variable is empty. I must be doing something that is simply to correct but I can't find it

    PHP Code:
    global $UserDetails;
    echo 
    "Welcome $UserDetails[0]...."//All that is displayed is Welcome ....

    Re: Variable Issue

    Global variables are not persistant accress different PHP scripts. If you want this then you will need to use sessions.

    http://www.php.net/session

    There is also a link in my signature to a class which allows you to save the session in a MySql database.
    PHP || MySql || Apache || Get Firefox || OpenOffice.org || Click || Slap ILMV || 1337 c0d || GotoMyPc For FREE! Part 1, Part 2

    | PHP Session --> Database Handler * Custom Error Handler * Installing PHP * HTML Form Handler * PHP 5 OOP * Using XML * Ajax * Xslt | VB6 Winsock - HTTP POST / GET * Winsock - HTTP File Upload

    Latest quote: crptcblade - VB6 executables can't be decompiled, only disassembled. And the disassembled code is even less useful than I am.
