My sessions don't work on browsers...

Avimander

<?php
session_start();
?>
<br><br><br><br><br>
<?php
isset($_SESSION['count']) ? $_SESSION['count']++ : $_SESSION['count'] = 1;
echo $_SESSION['count'];
?> 
<a href=test.php>Increase the number!</a>

It may work for you, but for IE: Mac v5.2, it's not working. Help meee.....

Do you get any errors? If not try this.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start();
?>
<br><br><br><br><br>
<?php
isset($_SESSION['count']) ? $_SESSION['count']++ : $_SESSION['count'] = 1;
echo $_SESSION['count'];
?> 
<a href=test.php>Increase the number!</a>

and then post up what error you're getting.

Stupid pages doesn't work at all anymore, but I tried it somewhere else...

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent...on line 3

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent...on line 3

Oh dear, I should have spotted that. Thank god Shrike didn't notice, that would have been three failures!
You must have no output before any of your session handling.
change your code to

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start();
isset($_SESSION['count']) ? $_SESSION['count']++ : $_SESSION['count'] = 1;
echo $_SESSION['count'];
?> 
<br><br><br><br><br>
<a href=test.php>Increase the number!</a>

and see if that helps

Avimander

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start();
isset($_SESSION['count']) ? $_SESSION['count']++ : $_SESSION['count'] = 1;
echo $_SESSION['count'];
?>
<br><br><br><br><br>
<a href=test.php>Increase the number!</a>

What's wrong with that?? It's not working on that browser still!

Are you getting any errors? What is being output? What denotes this program "not working"? You're going to have to give a little more to work on than you are.

One thing to check which is often a problem with sessions on windows machines is in your php.ini. Search for the line with session.save_path and see what that is. It should be pointing to the folder in which you want your sessions saved, if the folder listed there does not exists the sessions will not be written.

I'm using tripod.co.uk for this. And by "not working", it isn't showing any errors, but the number doesn't update. It's always 1. I've also tried this on an old site I made, that worked with my old browsers, but refuses to work in IE: Mac.
