location redirect is loosing my session variables!

[travelerBT]

hello all,

I am neck deep in this sucker... basically here it is.

I am trying to set some session variables and when the redirect happens, they are lost.

here is my code:

function addItem ($itemId, $url){
$hostname_attain = "";
$database_attain = "";
$username_attain = "";
$password_attain = "";
$attain = mysql_pconnect($hostname_attain, $username_attain, $password_attain) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
$colname_Recordset1 = "-1";
if (isset($itemId)) {
$colname_Recordset1 = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $itemId : addslashes($itemId);
}
mysql_select_db($database_attain, $attain);
$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM eccommplan WHERE commPlanId = %s", $colname_Recordset1);
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $attain) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);

	session_start();
	$_SESSION[$itemId][1] = $itemId;
	$_SESSION[$itemId][2] = $row_Recordset1['commPlan'];
	$_SESSION[$itemId][3] = $row_Recordset1['commPlanPrice'];

	mysql_free_result($Recordset1);
	session_write_close();
	header("Location: $url");
}[/COLOR]

I have tried all the fixes that are on php.net and still nothing. I am sure that someone out there has run into this issue before... if anyone has a solution, I would love to get this working! :glare:

Make sure that you call session_start() again after session_write_close() if you rely on the SID rewriting. Otherwise it will not be rewritten.

U dont need to write your code in red u can use php tags [ php ] ... [ /php ]

Every time u work with session make sure u start session [ session_start() ] ...

Nope... this didn't work... thanks for the reply... here is what I changed the code to...

function addItem ($itemId, $url){
		$hostname_attain = "";
		$database_attain = "";
		$username_attain = "";
		$password_attain = "";
		$attain = mysql_pconnect($hostname_attain, $username_attain, $password_attain) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); 
		$colname_Recordset1 = "-1";
		if (isset($itemId)) {
		  $colname_Recordset1 = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $itemId : addslashes($itemId);
		}
		mysql_select_db($database_attain, $attain);
		$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM eccommplan WHERE commPlanId = %s", $colname_Recordset1);
		$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $attain) or die(mysql_error());
		$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
		$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);

	session_start();
	$_SESSION[$itemId][1] = $itemId;
	$_SESSION[$itemId][2] = $row_Recordset1['commPlan'];
	$_SESSION[$itemId][3] = $row_Recordset1['commPlanPrice'];

	mysql_free_result($Recordset1);
	session_write_close();
	session_start();
	header("Location: $url");

And in your $url if u have only this line:

session_start();
echo "<pre>",print_r($_SESSION,1),"</pre>";

Your session is empty?
