PHP Session Problem

aval

Hi,
I have session problem in PHP while running on windows.
If I use Header function for redirection, i loose the session variable on the redirected page.
Instead of Header function for redirect, if I use meta refresh the session works fine.
It works fine with header if I run it on linux but not working fine on windows.
Please help me if you can.
Thanks for reading this.

maybe try
header("Location: page.php?".PHPSESSID);
to try passing along the session id if it is a problem with windows.

is session_start() at the top of the needed pages?

how are you declaring your session variables?
$_SESSION
or
session_register()

may i know what is the different between this two ways in declaring?

for my understanding is session_register(' ') is to declare a value, and $_SESSION[' '] is to use to carry its value.

below is the way i used in doing session, it works fine right now..
session_register('age');

    $_SESSION['age'] = $age;

from previous threads in the forum...

session_register()

If you want your script to work regardless of register_globals, you need to instead use the $SESSION array as $SESSION entries are automatically registered. If your script uses session_register(), it will not work in environments where the PHP directive register_globals is disabled.
