Recursion Problem

[trickyserge]

first of all am using CakePhp but i dont think it matters anyway
on the index page am checking for the session but am having a redirection problem when my function checks for the session and redirects here is the code

<?php

$log = 0;
$flag = 0 ;

function index(){
if($flag == 0)
$this->checkSession();
}

function checkSession()
{
if (!$this->Session->check('User'))
{
$log = 0;
$flag = 1;
$this->redirect('/helps/');
exit();
}
else
$log = 1;
$flag = 0;
}

?>

I don't know anything about CakePHP, but looking at your code $flag is not a global variable, and is lost inside the scope of the function. You either need to pass $flag as an argument, create a constant which is global, or use "global $flag;" in your function so $flag is now available in the function scope. If none of these work, I cannot comment further if CakePHP changes the way PHP normally works!

And can you use forum code tags when posting, it makes reading code easier for the people who are going to help you.

AND!!! Like I say to everyone using a helper or framework, go to the vendors site, your going to get your answer quicker.
