Are you positive that $_SESSION["login"] is set? Is your browser accepting

OK, do you have access to the directory (assuming you're using files) that
stores the session files? If so, check the session file written in a1.php to
see whether $_SESSION["login"] was set correctly, then check session_id() in
a2.php matches that the name of said session file.
