session not working

[osusano]

im just wondering im trying to make a login script and save the variables into session but i dont know why it dont go properly

from php.ini
session.save_path = /home/sessions

so from my script its

$locationURL = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$sql ="select * from users where username='$username' and password='$password'";
$makeQuery = new queryRecord( $sql );
$res = mysql_query ($makeQuery->sqlQry);
if(mysql_num_rows($res) >= 1){
   while ( list ( $userIdT, $usernameT, $passwordT ) = mysql_fetch_row($res) ){
      if( !isset( $_SESSION['UID'] )) { $_SESSION['UID'] = $userIdT; }
   }
   Header("Location:$locationURL");
} else {
   Header("Location:$locationURL?error=Y");
}

ok now when im just going to print the record it do print the UID but if i use to set the session it goes directly to else i dont know the reason why can some 1 tell me whats wrong with the code?

thank you in advance

Try doing in console...

mkdir /home/sessions/
chmod 777 /home/sessions/
