[RESOLVED] Sessions not working-Please help

Sherman

Ok, I give up. I have browsed these forums for hours, have looked around the web, but have not been able to solve my problem.

All I'm doing is a simple test to see how sessions work, taken from a book, but it's not working. Here it is:

Page1.php:

<?php
session_start();
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['sess_var'] = "Hello world!";
echo 'The content of $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[\'sess_var\'] is '
.$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['sess_var'].'<br />';
?>
<a href="page2.php">Next page</a>

Result: Works properly, I get on screen The content of $_var is Hello world!

Page2.php (called from page1.php):

<?php
session_start();
echo 'The content of $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[\'sess_var\'] is '
.$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['sess_var'].'<br />';
unset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['sess_var']);
?>
<a href="page3.php">Next page</a>

Result: Doesn't work, I ONLY get on screen The content of $_var is
That is, the contect of the variable is not displayed.

I'm working on my localhost with wamp. I believe all my settings in php.ini regarding sessions are OK. Any ideas?

Works OK for me.

Just to make sure there are no little errors getting in the way, you might want to add the following to the start of each file:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Also, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS, while still available, is "old school" as well as not being a "super-global", so you should probably get in the habit of using the $_SESSION array, instead.
