sessions

[cool-palace-ceo]

Hello,

Something is wrong with the way I am making sessions in php scripts... I wrote this sample so you can see how I am doing it, this is how I create the session:

<?php
session_start();

$SESSION["username"] = "brian";
$SESSION["password"] = "brian";

?>

and this is in my check page:

<?php

$username = $SESSION["username"];
$password = $SESSION["password"];

if(!$username || !$password) {
echo "YOU NEED TO LOGIN!";
} else {
echo "WELCOME!";
}

?>

for some reason it always display's the YOU NEED TO LOGIN! error. I can't seem to figure out what is wrong.

Thanks,
Brian

Also, to note, i have register_globals OFF AND

i am running this on my personal server so i went and looked in my designated session file folder and the file existed and had the contents

username|s:5:"brian";password|s:5:"brian";

so for some reason, i cannot recall those variables to check if they are "logged in" because it always fails.
