Re: [PHP] session var being lost between pages

[Christian Dechery]

are you sure you have session_start() on all three pages and you have 
enabled 'track_vars'???
cuz if you don't you'll have to manually pass the session id trought the 
form...

Ok, newbie I am but ... I seem to be losing my session vars when I load up 
a different php page.

My set-up:

1- main page starts session and logs user in

if (isset($PHPSESSID))
  session_start($PHPSESSID);
else
  session_start();

$PHPSESSID = session_id();
$SID   = PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID;

if(!isset($userid)) {
   login_form();
   exit;
}
else {
   session_register(userid, userpassword);
}

Once the user is logged in I have no problem accessin the vars $userid and 
$userpassword.

On the page I even have an A HREF link to second php page and the vars 
are accessible there also.

However this other page has a form. When the user submits the form, a 
third php page is loaded. On this third page the vars no longer have any 
values.

Why is this? How can I access the vars from this third page?

Thanks!

Re: [PHP] session var being lost between pages

[Jean-Christian Imbeault]

Can someone explain this to me? I am not very confused after reading this 
post ...

are you sure you have session_start() on all three pages and you have 
enabled 'track_vars'???

I have done no such thing. The PHP book I have doesn't mention any of this. 
It simply says that using session_start() and session_register() will cause 
the vars to be kept between pages. Are you sure what you are sayign is true?

If so please help me understand because I never saw any methion of what you 
say must be done in any book or on PHP ML etc ...

Thanks!
