Session vars across pages?

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm starting to experiment with sessions, but somehow it won't work as planned...

Problem: I register some vars on one page with session_start(), then session_register("var1"), and after that redirect with a header("location:some.html").
On the 'some.html' page, I try to access the previously registered vars exactly as I would do as if they had been POSTed ($var1...) after calling session_start()... tutorial said it'd work.
My tmp dir shows the session with the registered vars just fine, but on 'some.html', I just can't access them. Cookies are enabled, but the session_start() on 'some.html' just gets me another file in the tmp dir, as if it created another session instead of using the old one.
Anybody a clue? Or a piece of code that does the trick?

TIA,

Joerg

try accessing the variables using this:

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['varname']

also, make sure that when you register the variable into the session, it is a global variable.

I tried, but still to no avail...
I checked my cookies, and suppose one should have been set with the registering of the session. That's not the case, so isn't the cookie automatically generated with every session? I sure have them enabled. Or does the redirect cause the trouble? If not, I still can blame it on my Windows env ;-)
