Session Problems

[Maximus]

Lately, i installed WAMP server on my pc, and started coding as always.

Today, I noticed that sessions started going weird.

I declare a session in page1 for example, I echo it in page2 after a
form submission ... al goes fine ... then click a link on page2 leading
to page 3 ..... the session is no longer valid.

echoing the session gives NULL


What's wring? any help?
I am using session_start() ; in all 3 pages.

are you calling it properly, via $_SESSION['mysession']; and not just
expecting $mysession to exist without that?

Are you calling session_start before ANYTHING is sent to the client?
This can include any DOCTYPE, etc. statements, or even white space.

What happens if you add the following two statements right at the
beginning of your file (before the session_start() call)?

error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set("displa y_errors","1");

Re: Session Problems

The same script thats working fine online on link:
http://www.tam-sms.com is not working on my wamp server locally.

I think there's a problem with the php.ini file installed by WAMP5
server.

If that were the case I wouldn't expect it to work at all.

What happens if you do a

echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($_SESSI ON);
echo "</pre>\n";

And what happens if you use the code I sent you earlier?

What's the actual failing code?

(Top posting fixed)

OK, are you sure there is NOTHING before the <?php in page2.php?

And what happens if you put the code I gave you immediately following
the <?php tag?

P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.

Sorry, this was the code I was referring to. I didn't mean to be confusing:


error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set("displa y_errors","1");

P.S. ensure you look at your page source, also.

One other thing - what does phpinfo() say for your session-related
settings? Your code should be working fine.

Re: Session Problems

PAGE1.PHPis working fine ...
PAGE2.PHP doesn't echo any sessions.

Sessions at that page turn to NULL.

Hi

Try:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>


Maybe you didn't enable short open tags on your server.
(Check this by viewing the source from that page, it would read excactly:
<?
phpinfo();
?>
which displays nothing in a browser, since it looks just like an (unknown)
tag.
