php objects across site

[dreamer81]

Hi, what is the common way of getting php objects from one php page to another php page?

Lets say on index.php we create a new object called User

how do I access this object on register.php

????

You mean include()?

You could put the user object in the $_SESSION variable.

As long as both pages use session_start();

no include doesn't contain objects, it contains classes and code?

You could put the user object in the $_SESSION variable.

I thought about that... or $GLOBALS
but I am not sure what the common way of doing this is?? I guess it's sessions then?

You should stay clear of using $GLOBALS, and stick to the superglobals instead. You can serialize your object, and carry it's state across pages using sessions. Alternatively, you could store the serialized object in a database. It's up to you really. Make sure if you're carrying it as a session variable, there's no sensitive data stored in the object, as it's readable by the user
