[RESOLVED] help with sessions

hi. in my first page i have this code

session_start();
$_SESSION['user']=$username;

then on the next page, i tried to check the existence of the content of the said session variable with the following code:

if(empty($_SESSION['user'])) {
      echo "you are not authorized to view this page";
}

what could have been the problem? thanks.

How do u want to know the session on the next page if u dont start them?

And u should read this thread also:

oh you mean, i have to put the session.start() parameter on every page that i am going to access the session variables?
