Passing objects as session variables
Posted on 2008-06-19
It's my understanding that I can pass objects around during a session by simply assigning them to a session variable, as long as the class is defined before I run session_start(). That said, I'm having problems finding the right solution. I'm trying it the way I've described above, as well as serializing/unserializing and then passing into/out of session variables. What might I be doing wrong?
<?php
// include Timecard class definition
require("Timecard.php");
session_start();
if($_SESSION['logged_in_userID']) {
$tc = new Timecard($_SESSION['logged_in_userID'],"");
// setup page header -- removed for clarity
// display timecard -- removed for clarity
$_SESSION['currentTimecard'] = $tc;
} else {
// create a new timecard -- removed for clarity
}
?>

To follow is the script in which I'm attempting to reload this object. When calling "print_r($_SESSION)", I am given:
Array ( [logged_in_userID] => 1 [logged_in_admin] => 1 [currentTimecard] => Timecard Object ( [userID:private] => 1 [date:private] => 2008-06-19 11:21:53 [timecardID:private] => 252 [timecardClosed:private] => 0 [timecardActivities] => Array ( ) ) )
Array ( [logged_in_userID] => 1 [logged_in_admin] => 1 [currentTimecard] => Timecard Object ( [userID:private] => 1 [date:private] => 2008-06-19 11:21:53 [timecardID:private] => 252 [timecardClosed:private] => 0 [timecardActivities] => Array ( ) ) )
<?php
require("Timecard.php");
session_start();
if($_SESSION['logged_in_userID']) {
// setup page header -- removed for clarity
$tc = $_SESSION["currentTimecard"];
echo "User ID: " . $tc->getUserID . "<br>";
echo "<h3>Session Variables:</h3>";
print_r($_SESSION);
}
?>
I think you are missing two anchors:
Have you tried using $tc->getUserID() instead of $tc->getUserId ?
Kind regards
