<div>
I ahve php 5. Are you saying I should remove from my code, this:<br />
session_register('username<wbr />');<br />
.....<br />
if(session_is_registered('<wbr />username')<wbr />)<br />
<br />
and do something like this instead?<br />
$_SESSION['username'] = LOGGED_IN;<br />
.....<br />
if(isset($_SESSION['userna<wbr />me']) &amp;&amp;&nbsp;$_SESSION['username'] == LOGGED_IN)<br />

Hi<br />
Can someone explain when to use session_register() versus using a session variable? What I mean is: Say a user successfully logs in, do I have to use:<br />
<br />
session_register('username<wbr />');<br />
then use<br />
if(session_is_registered('<wbr />username')<wbr />)<br />
elsewhere to validate<br />
<br />
or can I just create a regular session variable and set it to some value and use that to check whether a user logged in correctly?<br />
$_SESSION['username'] = LOGGED_IN;<br />
then use<br />
if($_SESSION['username'] == LOGGED_IN)<br />
elsewhere to validate<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Difference between 'session_register' and a $_SESSION variable?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
