Re: Re[4]: [Phplib-users] Max's session class

[Donncha O C. <don...@tr...>]

Hi all,

I'm dragging up an old thread but I'm only now getting around to investig=
ating=20
PHP4 properly. I'm trying to figure out which session class to use with P=
HP4.

The stable directory has the following:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phplib/php-lib-stable/unsu=
p/

which were added only 5 months ago

And the unstable has=20
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phplib/php-lib/php/session=
/=20
which are older files.

The session4_custom.inc in each directory is exactly the same, but the st=
able=20
directory doesn't have a session4.inc file which confused me as it's requ=
ired=20
by the former file. Shouldn't session4.inc be in the tarball that's relea=
sed=20
to the public? (this question was also raised elsewhere in this thread la=
st=20
March..)

To install the session code, I think I do the following..
1. Download the session4.inc file from=20
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phplib/php-lib/php/session=
/session4.inc
2. Copy that file to my include directory in a sub-directory called sessi=
on.
3. Rename session.inc in my include directory so it's out of the way.
4. Copy ~/phplib-7.4-pre1/unsup/session4_custom.inc to session.inc in my=20
include directory.
5. Change local.inc so that the session class there inherits from=20
Custom_session and configure the storage variables and other settings.

Is that correct? If it is, it's going on a webpage so Google can find it,=
 the=20
list archives don't seem to there..

Donncha.
