Question about session

[Anon]

this is the short version of my code

login($username.$password);
if($_SESSION["logged"]=="yes")
{
code here
}
else
echo("Session has expire or not logged in. Please login");

functions

function login($username,$password)
{
//mysql stuff to check the password
if(login_correct)
{
session_start();
$_SESSION["logged"] ="yes";
}
else
echo ("invalid login");

}

but everytime i try i get the session expire massage..
the login system worked fine... so nothing is wrong there
it's the session thing...

my php.ini

; php.ini for PEAR tests
include_path=..
[mail function]
SMTP= localhost ; for Win32 only
sendmail_from= [e-mail] ; for Win32 only
upload_tmp_dir = D:\PHP\uploadtemp ; temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not specified)
[Session]
session.save_path= D:\PHP\sessiondata ; argument passed to save_handler

error_reporting=E_ALL; display all errors, warnings and notices


anybody have any idea what i did wrong??

echo your session ID and see if it is consistent from page to page.
if not, then i suspect it's a cookie problem. If that's the case, pass the session ID in your URLs using this syntax:

<a href="nextpage.php?<? =SID ?>">next page</a>

my session id comes out as nothing
what is wrong.. to debug i did another thing

<?
session_start();
echo ("session id=");
echo SID;
?>

it came out as "session id="
is there a thing in th ephp.ini that i should set or anything??
