tested the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS prior to sending, set just fine. changed the next
page to php and tested for the session var... nothing.
[in login.php]
<?
session_start();
# database check in here
if(match){
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["UserID_session"]=$txtUserID; #from form field for user
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["UserNum_session"]=$databaseresult; # from database result
for user number
header("Location: successlogin.php"); # or .htm - changed this to test if var
was being passed
exit;
}else{
header("Location: wrongpassword.htm");
exit;
}
?>
[in successlogin.php]
<?
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["SellerID_session"];
?>
if I check session_id() - it is the same in both pages. Variables just aren't
getting stored/retrieved.
ideas?
as an aside, how do you destroy/start a new session with new session id? or do
you just destroy the variables then use the same session id for the new session?
