Hi, I'm having major problems getting $_SESSION variables to work on my web server. They don't keep their values. I've written some simple scripts to show the problem.
Script1 - sets the session variable
Script 1 output:
and script 2 displays the variable (it should but it doesn't)
Script2 output - the SESSION value is blank?!:
You can see my phpinfo()here (unsafe - I know):
link
I'm really pulling my hair out over this!
Cheers.
