Re: [PHP] Sessions

[Jason k Larson]

You need to make sure that when you are being directed to the other pages that the session 
name and session id are being passed.  Check session.use_trans_sid in the sessions section 
of phpinfo().  The session name and id are available globally after a session has been 
started as the constant SID.  If you are posting form data, make sure there is an input 
for the session name with a value of the session id, etc.

Hope that helps.

Hi All,

I'm struggling with a session problem and I'm not sure where I should be
looking for the answer.
Most of my pages begin like this:
====================================
include_once('cfheader.php');
$feedback = cfHeader("Main Page");
//Start of page code
====================================
The cfheader.php file begins like this:
====================================
<?PHP
session_start();
function cfHeader($Title,$Protect=false)
{
 $feedback="";
 //IF we're loggin on then destory and get new session
 if (IsSet($_POST['login']))
 {
  include_once('userreg.inc');
  session_destroy(); //Destroy current session before continuing
  $feedback =do_login();
 }
 if ($Protect==true && !IsSet($_SESSION['name']))
 {
  //No Session.
  echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' content='2;URL=mypage.php'>"; //Redirect
  exit;
 }
====================================
This works fine on my development PC, (PHP v  4.3.1) and on my primary test
site (PHP v4.2.2).
However when I try it on the target site (PHP v4.1.2) then I find that
immediately after starting the session everything works fine, however when I
move to any other page the session information is lost and I'm redirected to
log in again.
I was looking over the PHPInfo but to be honest I can't see what it is
that's different.
All help is gratefully appreciated.

regards,
Dave
