SESSION trouble

marting

Hi,

I have a really weird problem with Sessions.
On my site there is a 'private' part, which you can only access with a username/password.

To check if you're authorized, I set a session:

$_SESSION['authed'] = true;

Then to check it on a page, I do this:

?
session_start();
if(!($_SESSION['authed'])) 
{ /* User NOT Cleared: display unauthorized access*/ 
   echo "<font color=#ff0000><Center><b>**You're not Authorized to see this page**</b></Center></font>";
   exit;
}

?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<link href="../styles.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
...
...
...

Now this works fine on a number of pages.. but there are two pages that are just not working. I've copied an other .php file with this check, and changed only the stuff in the <body> part, stil it refuses access..

If I run it localy on my home PC with PHP, it works fine...

PHP version I use at home is:
- PHP Version 5.0.3-dev

PHP version at my provider is:
- PHP4u Version 3.0
Based on PHP-4.3.10

So in general, why do a number of pages work fine with the $_SESSION, but only two do not, and I've tripple checked them for errors, made copies of working ones, still the don't see that the session is set... 😕

Are you using session_start() on each page?

Yes I am ! otherwise it would not work on the other pages..

I've turned on error reporting, this is what I get:

Notice: Undefined index: authed in /data/xxx/xxx/xxx/xx/file_ul_dl.php on line 5

You're not Authorized to see this page

Warning: Unknown(): open(/data/session/9/2/sess_9242622530608514fa34f7be7371b21b, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (2;/data/session) in Unknown on line 0
