sessions

[Anon]

OK I am just getting into sessions in PHP and have a very basic script thats starts a session and registers users id's and pwd's if their id's and passwords are recognised in the database.

That seems to work ok, and I can see the session file in the temp directory.

However, the next part of my script presents the logged on user with a drop list in a form with various options. Whenever I choose an option, I get asked for my login details again!

Any ideas without more detail or is more needed?

Are you using a session_start() call on the next script?

Is your authentication schema continuing to validate? And if so, is it using the session data properly?

There are a lot of things that can go wrong here, so look at anything that can affect the user authentication in your scripts.

Are you able to var_dump the session variables successfully?

Do you have logic for generating SPECIFIC user options within the dropdown based on the session variables???
