session problem

scialom

Hi I try to do this:

$_SESSION["Des"] = $Test;

I try to call $_SESSION["Des"] in other page but it is empty. why?

I just need a session var so I can call it from every page I have.

thanks,
Assaf

Hi,

what to do depends on your session configuration (check it with a little phpinfo() script).

If session.auto_start is set to Off or 0 you must call session_start() at the very beginning of each script.

If session.use_cookies is off and session.use_trans_sid is off then you might need to add the session id manually on header(..) calls or in javascript functions, all links ....

Just send some code and your session setup so I can see how it could work 🙂

Hi,

In the first page my code is:
session_start();
$var = "ABC";

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['test'] = $var;

in the second page it is:
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['test'];

I try to change the session.auto_start to 1 but still I cant get the value of the var, in the second page.

Hi,

can you post the session part of the phpinfo() output ?
