Problem establishing Session on Apache

[Baliktad]

I have problem establishing session on Apache (Linux). The code I'm using works perfectly fine on IIS (Win2K). Any idea why?

Here's a part of the code I'm using to establish session:

==========================================
$intUserID = $recRow["UU_ID"];
$intLevel = $recRow["UU_Level"];

     session_start();
     $_SESSION["login"] = $strLN;
     $_SESSION["level"] = $intLevel;

     Header("Location:kunden-login.php");

==========================================

TIA

It looks ok.

You have to have session_start() on each page where you'd like to work with $_SESSION.

Show us a kunden_login.php source.

Hi zhabala. Thanks for spending some time reading my problem. 😃

OK. Here's a portion of the kunden-login.php page:

=====================================
<?php
session_start();

header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");

include ("include/funks.php");

$strSessionLevel = fGetSession(1);
$strFormatLevel = strtoupper(trim($strSessionLevel));

=====================================

I created a function fGetSession (from include/funks.php) to retrieve the Level (from session).

Does that helps?

Thanks again.

It should work, it does not ?

How the fGetSession(1) looks like ?

I have tried your code and it works for me on my comp.

OK.

Here's the function code:

=====================================

function fGetSession($intIndex)
{
if (!isset($SESSION))
{
session_start();
}
if (isset($SESSION["login"]))
{
if ($intIndex == "0")
{
$strReturn = $SESSION["login"];
}
elseif ($intIndex == "1")
{
$strReturn = $SESSION["level"];
}
else
{
$strReturn = true;
}
return $strReturn;
}
else
{
unset($SESSION);
if (!isset($SESSION))
{
session_destroy();
}
return false;
}
}

=====================================

Thanks again.

In the first script you are setting the value of $_SESSION["login"] = $strLN;

but there is not visible, how the $strLN is filled in. What is in that. In my testing script I have to filled this one, otherwise it did not work.

ok. here's more:

==========================================

  $strLN = $HTTP_POST_VARS['txtLogin'];
  $strPW  = $HTTP_POST_VARS['txtPassword'];

  $strQuery = "SELECT UU_ID, UU_Level FROM U_Users WHERE UU_Login = '$strLN' 
              AND UU_Password = '$strPW'";

  $strDB = mysql_select_db(fGetDBName());
  $strResult = mysql_query($strQuery) or die ("Invalid Query.");

  $intRow = mysql_num_rows($strResult);
  $recRow = mysql_fetch_array($strResult);

  if ($recRow > 0)
  {
     $intUserID = $recRow["UU_ID"];
     $intLevel = $recRow["UU_Level"];

     session_start();
     $_SESSION["login"] = $strLN;
     $_SESSION["level"] = $intLevel;

     Header("Location:kunden-login.php");

  }
  else
  {
     Header("Location:kunden-login.php?e=1");
  }

==========================================

Thanks again.

bump

[zhabala]

$intRow = mysql_num_rows($strResult); 
$recRow = mysql_fetch_array($strResult); 

if ($recRow > 0) 
{ 
    $intUserID = $recRow["UU_ID"]; 
    $intLevel = $recRow["UU_Level"]; 

It is probably here, you are testing $recRow > 0, but the number of rows is in the $intRow variable. $recRow contains the record from DB as an array.

Zdenek

Sory for late answer.

[Baliktad]

Still won't work.

Either of the two determine if a record is fetched. But still cannot establish a session.

Thank anyway and sorry for late reply.
