session_start();

zzz

I use a script on my site where I use session id. I set it up like:

session_start();

on top of each page and attache myVar to it.

It appears that my host changed something on the server last night, because the script stopped working.

How can I check if the session is set?

I've tried using:

echo $_SESSION['myVar'];

but cann't seem to be able to see it.

What do I do next?

Right before I posted this message, I called tech support of my host company. Right after I submitted the post I checked the site and it's up. I doubt they'd admit it was their fault, but I'm curious if anyone would suggest what was the possible cause for that malfunction?

to check the session is set use

 session_start();

 if(isset($_SESSION['myVar']))
             {
                  $var=$_SESSION['myVar']    ;           

         }
echo "$var";

i think this can give you some help.
not actually understand what's leads to the malfunction so can't answer for it.

Thanks, this is great. I did something similar and just could not see SESSION with MyVar...

The server diod come back to normal later but has the same problem this morning.

i use

session_register('myVar');

whenever i want to start a session.

then i will use the

$var=$_SESSION['myVar'];

to carry the value for me to echo the myVar.

it works fine for my system so far(at least i still not yet discover the error message). i think the problem u face might be using the session without register it.

Sounds like this one is resolved, huh ZZZ?
