Session Problems

spyro187

I have a login which registers a session. Here is a code snippet.
///code///
if($count==1){
// Register $username, $password and redirect to file "index.php"
session_register("username");
session_register("password");

header("location:index.php");
}
///code///

In all of my other files I have
///code///
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered('username')){
header("location:main_login.php");
}
///code//

All of this works correctly. It sets a seesion and opens the pageif I authenticated. The problem is I can't grab the session variable in another script. Can you tell me why this would not work.

///code///

It gives me this error.

Notice: Undefined index: username in /var/www/html/track/v04/test.php on line 3

Anyone know why this would not work? $_SESSION is supposed to be global.

Your code isnt showing. Try using the [ PHP ] code here [ / PHP ] (without spaces) to post code.

Also, you do not need to register sessions, that's the old method.

Use:

session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = 'user';
$_SESSION['password'] = 'pwd';
echo $_SESSION['username'].'<br />'.$_SESSION['password'];

Are you sure you have a session_start() before doing this?

f($count==1){
// Register $username, $password and redirect to file "index.php"
session_register("username");
session_register("password");

header("location:index.php");
}

Make sure that the session id cookie your browser has matches the session file that is being created. You might actually be making two sessions.

And as Kudoes says, look at some more modern code unless you really are using a very old version of php.
