session_register

(PHP 4 >= 4.0b1)

session_register --  Register one or more variables with the current session

Description

bool session_register (mixed name [, mixed ...])

session_register() variable number of arguments, any of which can be either a string holding the variable name or an array consisting of such variable names or other arrays. For each encountered variable name, session_register() registers the global variable named by it with the current session.

This function returns TRUE when the variable is successfully registered with the session.

Note: It is not currently possible to register resource variables in a session. For example, you can not create a connection to a database and store the connection id as a session variable and expect the connection to still be valid the next time the session is restored. PHP functions that return a resource are identified by having a return type of resource in their function definitions. A list of functions that return resources are available in the resource types appendix.

Note: This function was added in PHP 4.0.
