Session

[simwiz]

hi I’ve made a script with the use of SESSIONS, the script worked on my localhost machine but after uploading to a remote server the sessions don’t seem to work!

the remote server is running - 5.0.5
the localhost server - 4.4.1

below are to separate pages to test such session !
session.php declares and assigns a value to session
session2.php asks for the session to be outputted after echoing session var.

It seems the session does not pass to the next page, can any one help, any ideas?

session.php
<?php
session_start();
$SESSION['test'] = "yes";
$testout = $SESSION['test'];
echo''.$testout.'';
echo'<ahref="http://www.domain.com/~si/test/session2.php">clickhere for session test ';
?>

session2.php
<?php
$testout = $_SESSION['test'];
echo''.$testout.'';
echo'TESTING 123';
?>

you need to run session_start() at the beginning of every page that you want to use sessions.

Hi, thanks for the reply. ive rewritten the scrips and now it works on my local machine but not remotely.

Ive done abit of research and it seems the permissions need to be changed when uploading files via ftp.

Unlucky for me permissions cannot be changed on the server and now have to wait for such times when the server will allow CHMOD permissions.
