[PHP] sessions not working when page redirects
Hi all, Im having a slightly weird problem with my session variables. when on a certain page call it A, I register a session variable and assign it a value. I then test if it is registered successfully and has the correct value on the same page, that works no problem. After that page A redirects to page B: header(Location: ../admin/include/B.php); After this I do the exact same test on page B to test for successful registration and value and I get that the session variable is not registered. on page B I do have session_start(); at the top. I even do 2 tests to on the session variable: if (session_is_registered(myvar)) and if (isset($_SESSION[myvar])) and they both tell me that the session variable is not registered. what could be causing the sesssion variable not to be remembered from page to page. I am using register_globals=on; any ideas/comments? Thanks Angelo Disclaimer This e-mail transmission contains confidential information, which is the property of the sender.

From: Angelo Zanetti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Im having a slightly weird problem with my session variables. when on a certain page call it A, I register a session variable and assign it a value. I then test if it is registered successfully and has the correct value on the same page, that works no problem. After that page A redirects to page B: header(Location: ../admin/include/B.php); This should be a complete URL to begin with: http://www.yourdomain.com/whatever/admin/include/B.php After this I do the exact same test on page B to test for successful registration and value and I get that the session variable is not registered. on page B I do have session_start(); at the top. I even do 2 tests to on the session variable: Using IE? Try using session_write_close() right before you redirect with the header() and be sure to put exit() directly after header(). Should look like this anytime you want to redirect. session_write_close(); header(...); exit(); If that doesn't work, then pass the session ID in the URL when you redirect like someone else mentioned. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Use the SID constant -- that's what it's for. It only has a value if you need one, so: header(Location: ../admin/include/B.php?.SID); will redirect to include ../admin/include/B.php?PHPSESSID=whatever or ../admin/include/B.php? as appropriate to the particular circumstances of the current invocation of the script.
