session is not working

[sridharmca]

I am developing a web site for forum. In login page. I registered the username as person in the session. And I try to read that person into another page. I will not working. I gave session_start() and session_registe r('person') functions in the home page.
the isset will return false.
sample coding
// in login.php
$_SESSION['person']=$userid;
// forumlist.php
echo $_SESSION['person'];

If you did what you said you did, it should work okay. But are you definitely sure that the $userid variable contains any value?? To be certain, check again.
BOTH pages must start with the session_start! Like this

LOGIN.PHP
[php]
<?php
session_start() ;
if (isset($userid) AND $userid > ' ')
$_SESSION['person']=$userid;
else
die ("Userid variable not set");
.... etc code ....
[/php]
FORUMLIST.PHP
[php]
<?php
session_start() ;
echo $_SESSION['person'];
.... etc code ...
[/php]
