Php Sessions!!! - Help !!!

[larmengol]

Dear all ...

close to desperation!!! I do not know what is going on with PHP session variables in my home server (Win XP, Apache 2.0, php 4.3.1, track_vars is on and register_globals if off)).

I use the superglobal $SESSION to store variables, they are written to the temporary file in my computer (I can read them), but when I try to pass the variables to another (from php1.php where I started the session to php2.php), the server is unable to recover any value from $SESSSION. Can anyone give me some advice? I have no clue since I've tried so many possible errors that I am desperated!!!
I enclose some code below ...

Thanks in advance!!!

in php1.php ...

session_start();

$nom_usuari = mysql_result($resultat,0,1);

$_SESSION["user"] = $nom_usuari;

$_SESSION["accepted"] = "1";

in php2.php

if($_SESSION["user"]){print ("Sessio Registrada!!!");} else {print ("Sessio NO registrada");}

print ("<div class=\"text1\">Moltes gràcies, ".$_SESSION["user"].", esperem tornar-te a veure aviat per aquí!!!</div>");

i dont know if this is the answer but i use single quotes when i am defining global variables

session_register('username');
$_SESSION['username']=$username;

good luck

Do you have session_start(); in php2.php? If not, add it before calling any session variables.
I dont see any other error in those scripts.

Thanks for both your answers ... I'll try them out asap . By the way, referring to cahva's answer ... wouldn't I be assigned a new session id if a do a session_start() again?

thank you so much!!!

No. It stays the same. When you close the browser and open up a new one, then the sessionid changes...

Hey there ...

Thanks a lot folks for your answers ... it actually turn out to be that none of the answers really helped ...
you know, the simpliest, must stupid thing ever thought was the cause!!! By the way, I've been able to solve the problem
just by putting the session_start() right at the top of the page, before any other html information is sent.
And it worked!!!

I really appreciatte your collaboration.
