Sessions not storing vars

thewomb

I have almost completed coding a site for a friend, i just u/l'd it to the remote server and the sessions do not work! hmm a session is created but none of the variables i give it are stored... My development server is using PHP version 4.3.0 and the remote server is using PHP 4.0.6..

heres an example of the code im using

<? 

// Session start
session_start();

// Get Var form previous pages input
$var = $_GET ['var'];

// add var to the session vars list
$_SESSION ['var'] = $var;

// print var
echo $_SESSION ['var'];

?>

thanx in advance...

The Manual

<?php
session_start();
// Use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less
if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) {
    $_SESSION['count'] = 0;
} else {
    $_SESSION['count']++;
}
?>

i can get a var to store and echo on the page 1 but not on page 2?

using

    <? var_dump($HTTP_SESSION_VARS); ?>

I don't see noething wrong but the spaces between the variable type and the variable's name try:

$_SESSION['var'] = $_GET['var'];
echo $_SESSION['var'];

By the way, before php version 4.1 you have to use

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS instead of $_SESSION

im using

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS ['order_number'] = $order_number;

and it views on the page that generates it but its gone when i move to another page?

var_dump($HTTP_SESSION_VARS); on pp1 = LIVE_VARS array(1) { ["order_number"]=> int(1004945795) }

by the next page it reads = LIVE_VARS array(0) { }
