I've got a problem getting sessions to work and I wondered if anyone could offer any advice.
The example I am using is to get one page to set variables in a session and then use another page to retrieve them. I am using 4.3.4RC2 and prior to that 4.3..3 on Win2k with IE6 and Apache 1.3.22.
The code is:
page1.php ---------- <?php session_start();
$_SESSION['foo'] = 'Hello'; $_SESSION['bar'] = 'World';
?> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY>
Variables set in session - hopefully???
<?php echo "foo = {$_SESSION['foo']}<BR>"; echo "bar = {$_SESSION['bar']}"; ?>
Get rid of the "foo =" and the "bar =". when you use the single equals sign, you're setting value....
<?php
echo { $_SESSION['foo'] . "<BR>\n");
echo { $_SESSION['bar'] };
?><form action="page2.php" method="post"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Page 2" /> </form>
</BODY> </HTML>
page2.php ---------- <?php session_start(); echo "foo = {$_SESSION['foo']}"; echo "bar = {$_SESSION['bar']}"; ?>
Same here....
<?php
echo { $_SESSION['foo'] . "<BR>\n");
echo { $_SESSION['bar'] };
?>On page 1 I am seeing the session variables displayed correctly i.e. Hello World and I can see a session file created in my temp directory with the correct values in there. However, when I display page 2 the variables are always displayed blank and what seems to happen is that a new empty session file is created in my temp directory. It's as though the second page is not related to the same session somehow. I've also tried lots of other examples from books and on the net and I still can't get sessions to work.
Am I doing something wrong in connecting the two pages although I don't close the browser down at all between the two?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
