Session not holding a value

[shlomisderot]

Hello all,

I'm not familiar with PHP session, my question is if session save the values when I brows to another page.
It is possible to keep the session values when I go to other page (in the same domain)?

In one script, let's say a.php I'm doing:
[PHP]
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['fname'] = $row["fname"];
$_SESSION['lname'] = $row["lname"];
header("LOCATIO N: b.php")
[/PHP]

In b.php I'm doing:
[PHP]
print My name is: " .$_SESSION['fname']. " " . $_SESSION['lname'];
[/PHP]

I don't see the content of [PHP]$_SESSION['fname'] [/PHP] and [PHP]$_SESSION['lname'][/PHP]

Thank you,

[Markus]

on b.php you need to initialise the session.

On any page that uses sessions you need to use
[php]
session_start() ;
[/php]
Right before any other code.

Regards.

Lets say:

a.php contains:
[PHP]
<?php
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['username'] = 'shlomi';
$_SESSION['password'] = 'elbaz';
header("LOCATIO N: b.php");
?>
[/PHP]

b.php contains:
[PHP]
<?php
session_start() ;
print $_SESSION['username']. " " .$_SESSION['password'];
?>
[/PHP]

In the addressbar I see http://localhost/b.php but its show nothing

You must have made another error or typo because, when running your 2 scripts unchanged on my localhost, it runs fine, i.e. both values are printed.

Check session_save_pa th in your php.ini file. Make sure it has real path with write permissions.

Check session_save_pa th in your php.ini file. Make sure it has real path with write permissions.

Also you can do a printout of phpinfo() and make sure session support is actually enabled. It'd be odd but it could happen.
