Hey folks, Is there some way to have my own session variables? I searched through the code and could not find a "session_register" anywhere, and then I saw lib-session.php which seems to indicate that the DB is used for this. I'd like to be able to do something like this in my plugins : In my non-GL PHP work I use session_register to do this. I want to store my own user settings for plugins, and some of them require being initialised only once per session. How is this done in GL? thanks, -Alan

Good question. Unfortunately, PHP4 sessions where relatively new and untest back we Geeklog 1 debuted years ago. I reworked this session code a couple of years ago by stealing stuff from another package (phpB. Now I am wishing we had PHP4 sessions in 1.3.x. Anyway to answer your question, unfortunately, no but we already have the GL2 session handler written and it stores session data to a database with a custom PHP4 session handler.---The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

Would I break anything do you think if I called session_register() in my code?

No, I can't see why. It would take some careful planning and might make upgrades a bit of a hassle but it could be done.---The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.
