Help I keep losing my session variables

rcoursey

I assign my session vars like this ( I need more that one array)

$SESSION[session_var][uname] = $row['uname'];
// echo $row['uname']."<BR> ".$SESSION[session_var][uname];
$SESSION[session_var][fname] = $row['first_name'];
$SESSION[session_var][userid] = $row['userid'];
$SESSION[session_var][mtype] = $row['membertype'];
// echo $row['membertype']."<BR> ".$SESSION[session_var][mtype];
$_SESSION[session_var][loggedin] = 1;

When I test my session on thepage it is there.

When I go to another page it disapprerd s (this is in the same site)

Any Ideas?

I ran a test:
1. After login I displayed the variables on the next page it was automatically redirected. I could see them there.

I went to another page and could see them there.

I went to the next page. This tests the user type for access display. It has a redirect to the login page.

0 <-------Note the level went from 2 to 0

Hi
First of all how are you going from page to page?

This script is in my main program and from there I'm going to xxxx.php

I create my session variables in the main program and the xxxxxx.php program looks into it with out problem.

--
if (!@$_SERVER['HTTPS'])
{
echo '<script languaje="JavaScript">';
echo 'window.location="http://localhost/sdg/xxxxx.php"';
echo '</script>';
}
else
{
echo '<script languaje="JavaScript">';
echo 'window.location="https://xxxx.yyyyy.com/sdg/xxxx.php"';
echo '</script>';

}

also check the path where your system is creating yours session files in windows usually is in c:\temp in linux is in /tmp

The pages have links from to the next one. All pages are php.

session vars are supposed to be global by default so I assign them in a function. What supprises me is the way they seem to work a couple of times and then this one page blows them up.

This is what I tried on the last page:

$level=$_SESSION[session_var][mtype];
echo $level."<BR>";

It resulted in a value of 0

I had that problem before.
as far I remember it was something related with the browsers, have u checked the stuff related with cookies?, I mean you have to enable cookies , look in the properties or preferences in your browser and try again

rcoursey

This is the session:

session_start();
if (!session_is_registered('session_var'))
{
session_register('session_var');
$session_var= array('uname' => 'unknown', 'userid' => '0', 'mtype' => '0', 'logged_in' => '0');
}
session_register('purchase', 'titles');
//echo $session_var[mtype]."=Type";
$level=$_SESSION[session_var][mtype];
//echo $level."<BR>";

if ($SESSION[session_var][mtype] != 2 || $SESSION[session_var][mtype] !=1)
{
header("Location: login.php?mode=purchase");
}

I get redirected by the header regrdless of my mtype.

I forgot to mention something more , check also your php.ini file everything related with sessions and cookies.
There is a directive called session.auto_start = 1

rcoursey

the session_start() negates the need for autostart.

also, I use three different browsers... happens to all.

thanks for helping...this has me stymied.
