    Session variables not working in PHP 5.0.4

    Hi All,
    I have a web site which was hosted on m/c A and PHP version there was 4.4.3
    Now I have moved my website to m/c B and the PHP version is 5.0.4
    But now the problem is that the on the m/c B my session variables(HTTP session variables) used in the PHP code are not maintained across all the pages which is creating problem on my website.
    I have put the exact code in m/c B which was there in m/c A and was working perfectly.

    Am I missing here??
    I am not sure but do I ned to make any changes in my ini file on m/c B?

    Please Help.

    Regards,
    Hussain

      Hi Hussain.

      Could you show us how the code you use to create and use your session variables?

          [code=php]
          <?
          //first page
          session_start() ;
          session_registe r('variable');

          $HTTP_SESSION_V ARS['variable']= value;
          ?>
          <html>
          <body>
          <a href="page2.php ">Page2</a>
          </body>
          </html>
          [/code]

          [code=php]
          <?
          //page 2
          $newvariable = $HTTP_SESSION_V ARS['variable'];

          echo $newvariable;
          ?>
          [/code]
          Thanks,

              Ahh, I see.

              The $HTTP_SESSION_V ARS array is old and really should not be used.
              Use the $_SESSION super-global instead.

              I'm not really sure this will fix the problem, but it is a good place to start.

              Also, I recommend using <?php ... ?> instead of <? ... ?>. The short-tags version can cause problems when moving between servers.

              Consider this:
              [code=php]
              <?php
              //first page
              session_start() ;

              $_SESSION['variable'] = "Some value";
              ?>
              [/code]

              [code=php]
              <?php
              //page 2
              $newvariable = $_SESSION['variable'];

              echo $newvariable;
              ?>
              [/code]

              P.S.
              Please post all your code inside &#91;code] tags.

              &#91;code=ph p] PHP Code goes here &#91;/code]

              Thank you.
