[PHP] header() and passing sessions

2009-04-15 Thread Adam Williams 
I need some help passing a session variable with a header() function.  
According to www.php.net/header, the documentation states:


*Note*: Session ID is not passed with Location header even if 
session.use_trans_sid 
session.configuration.php#ini.session.use-trans-sid is enabled. It 
must by passed manually using *SID* constant.


so, I'm trying to manually pass the SID, but not having any luck.  Here 
is a snippet of my code:


There is a file login.php which has session_start(); and sets 
$_SESSION[username] with the username you logged in with from 
index.php and has a form to click View Pending Requests which has the 
action of option.php.


-- option.php --
?php
session_start();
if ($_POST[option] == View Pending Requests)
   {
   header('Location: 
http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID='.session_id());

   }
?

--viewpending.php --
?php
session_start();
if (!$_SESSION[username])
   {
   echo You have not logged in;
   exit;
   }
?

so you click on View Pending Requests, and the URL in your browser is:

http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID=du75p41hel9k1vpuah799l2ce7

but viewpending.php says You have not logged in.  Why is that?

Hi,

Well I'ld say the reason is quite obvious. You have simply not set 
$_session[username] . I'ld have done something like:

 

-- option.php --
?php
 session_start();
 if ($_POST[option] == View Pending Requests)
{

$_session[username]= true;  //sets the session
 header('Location: 
 http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID='.SID);// 
I'ld use SID
 } 
 ?


 

--viewpending.php -
 ?php
 session_start();
 if ($_SESSION[username] !=true)
 {
 echo You have not logged in;
 exit;
 }
 ?

 

I hope this helps. try it.

Cheers

Well the thing is, $_SESSION[username] is set.  If I change option.php to:

?php
session_start();
echo session username is .$_SESSION[username];
/*if ($_POST[option] == View Pending Requests)
   {
   header('Location: 
http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID='.session_id());

   }
*/
?

and click on View Pending Requests, it prints:

session username is awilliam
