[Resolved] Session Problem

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

I have created a login page and set a session variable for the user.

Once the user has logged in he/she is shown a link.

However, when the user clicks the link their login is ended.

Why is this?

Here is what I have in that page:

<?php
session_start();
// Create variables
$view=$_POST['view'];

// check session variable
if (isset ($HTTP_POST_VARS['valid_user']))
{
	echo 'Logged in';
}
	else
	{ 
		echo 'Not logged in';
	}	

Thanks.

Kevin.

don't you mean:

if (isset($_SESSION['valid_user']))

instead of:

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['valid_user']))

checking $HTTP_POST_VARS doesn't check the session
