PHP Session Variables

Anon

I'm making a poll script for my website and whenever someone votes I have PHP session_register(); a variable so they can't vote on the same poll again. This works fine when I run the script by itself, but when I try including the page into my template, it can't access the variable I set previously when the user voted. What is wrong?

Here is how the page is setup:

[config file includes:]
[template includes:]
[poll script]

I hope you understand this.. Thanks!

not sure on what exactly is happening but try to make sure session_start() is called on every page that should have access to the var in question.

Post the code if this doesn't help.

Yeah, I have each page start a session. Every page goes through my template.

I'll mess around with it some more and post the code.

Here is the session code reguired into each page:

//Set a sessions for this user and log SESSID
if(isset($sess_id)) {
//This user already has a session ID. Load his/her previous session.
session_id($sess_id);
}
session_start();
if(!isset($sess_id)) {
setcookie("sess_id","$PHPSESSID",time()+31536000);
}
