Session variables

[Anon]

I am declaring session variable on one page and trying to retrieve it on another page.

Page 1

session_start();
if (!isset($SESSION[sc])) {
$SESSION[sc] = some_value;

}

Page 2

session_start();

some_variable = $_SESSION[sc];

The value on the second page is blank.
Is this the right way to use sessions ? If not, then what am I doing wrong ?

Please help!!!

Try using quotes around sc:

$_SESSION['sc']

If you had error_reporting set to all, not using quotes would have given you a warning, so when debugging, you should set error_reporting to E_ALL.

Is some_variable a $variable? Are you using PHP4.1 or later?

I know this might be a dumb question but are you registering the session variable using session_register()?

I tried registering the variables also.

I am using 4.1.2 and some_variable is $varibale.

According to my understanding you don't need to do session_register() with $_SESSION.

There is an option in php.ini called
session.use_cookies =1
Does this means that session uses cookies ?
