[Resolved] session array doesn't works.

lmurillo

First of all, the array was working yesterday, and today when i got to the office, appeared this message.

Notice: Undefined index: LOGIN in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\newImage\seleccionHeat.php on line 4
Notice: Undefined index: DATA" in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\newImage\seleccionHeat.php on line 7

and i have this stuff in the php file, at those lines.

3 echo "login ";
4 echo $SESSION['LOGIN'];
5 echo "<br>";
6 echo "data ";
7 echo $SESSION['DATA'];

and i´ve registered those values to the array in the previous webpage that calls, this one with the metioned error.

Here is the values.

session_start();
$SESSION['DATA']=$POST['consultor'];
$_SESSION['LOGIN']=true;

Could somebody tell me what i missing? please.

Did you use session_start() on the new page?

Yes, i did, in fact here´s almost the whole page.

<?php
session_start();
echo $SESSION['LOGIN'];
echo "DATA: ";
echo $SESSION['DATA'];
if(!isset($_SESSION['LOGIN'])){
header("Location: http://www.myserver.com/newImage/heatLogin.php?noLog=true");
}
else{?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
etc
etc
<?php
}
?>

Oh, and if i put an ECHO in the same page where i've created the values to the session array; the page display the values.

I think the array loses the values when i redirect the page to an other, using header("location: http://blahblah....")

Ok, i´ve resolved the issue.

The ´cause of this issue, is that Internet Explorer 6 (versions in English and german) have problems with session., I don´t know if just with php 5, but, it makes a newone,every page you open. so the data in the session get lost.

For avoiding this, you must name your session.
seesion_id("mysession"); //for explample.

and then in every page after starting the session (session_start()), you must make sure the session is not writed it self.

if(!isset("mysession")){
session_start();
}
else{
//redirect to the page where the session is created
}

At least, this worked for me, and there are several cases like mine.
