Sessions problem

[meeble3]

I have done a small site with sessions. If you log in then go straight to the page that only lets you see it if you are logged in, that is fine.

If you log in then go round the site THEN go to the special page it says you are logged out.

How do you keep track all the way round?

I thought you just had to have:

<?
session_start();
?>

at the top of each page?

Cheers

yea you need session_start(); at the top of each page.

what i do is put session_start(); at the top of my config.php and then include that in each page of my site.

my config includes db connections, date, time and other functions for my site!

Are you actually storing your variables in the session?

 

[MJB3K]

<?php
session_start();

//set a session called user
$_SESSION['user'] = "TestUser";

//echo $_SESSION['user'];
?>
<a href="page2.php">Next Page</a>

-----------PAGE 2-----------
<?php
session_start();

echo $_SESSION['user'];

?>

does this work for you?

remember: you need session_start(); at the top of each page

If you have a paranoid firewall, you might need to include the SID in the href, form action, or similar:

<?php
session_start();

//set a session called user
$_SESSION['user'] = "TestUser";
?>
<a href="page2.php?<?=SID?>">Next Page</a>

-----------PAGE 2-----------
<?php
session_start();

echo $_SESSION['user'];
?>
