[Resolved] Session problem

cassius

I'm having a bit of trouble with my sessions on my win 2003 server...

I have tried to echo a lot of statements to check that the "checking" of the user && password comes to the right part of the loop, and this is where i try to set the session-variable:

$_SESSION['auth'] = 'yes';

The "member-only" area-files include header.php which starts off like this:


session_start();
if (@$_SESSION['auth'] != 'yes'){
	header("Location: badlogin.php");
    exit();
  	}

Anyone knows why this always sends me to badlogin.php??
Using PHP 4.3.x
Have checked that passwords in database && form =

session_start();
if (@$_SESSION['auth'] != 'yes'){
header("Location: badlogin.php");
exit();
}

is't it supposed to look like this...?

session_start();
if ($_SESSION["auth"] != "yes"){
header("Location: badlogin.php");
exit();
}

And

this soulde look like this

$_SESSION["auth"] = "yes";

Im not the best at session hope it helpS!

....didn't matter if you use single or double quotes in this case actually. The problem was that the path to sessions files in php.ini was wrong...and allthough i changed it, it wouldn't take effect untill i restarted both IIS and WWW service running on the server.

Tnx anyway :-)

Why use IIS why not apache and mysql to windows?

I totally agree with you, but this is an assignment at school where we have a course in win2003 server, so it isn't really up to me 😃
