Re: [PHP] sessions no longer work
Wild Guess Theory
[These are assuming that the normal attempts to debug have failed]
One of the problems with header(Location: ) in conjuction with
session_start() is this:
The browser is sent 2 things as a result of these calls:
1. An HTTP response code involving a 302 and a new URL
2. A Cookie to store
*Some* browsers will see #1 and act upon it immediately, before
actually looking at the Cookie.
Poof!
Your cookie is ignored.
It's possible that you've been testing with a browser bug, rather than
a change in the site itself.
The more likely scenarios, of course, are that the session directory
is not writable, or the browser is not accepting cookies.
I think we can rule out a parallel MySQL upgrade with different
'password' implementations in your case, but if somebody else finds
this thread, I just mentioned it. :-)

Hello,

problem is
once you log in the admin page always kicks you back, doesn't see the
session vars. What could be wrong? Here is the code:
?php require_once('Connections/db.php'); ?
? if (isset($_POST[uname])){
$uname=$_POST[uname];
$pword=md5($_POST[pword]);
$SQL=select * from users where admin=1 and pword='$pword' and

$Result1 = mysql_query($SQL, $wards) or die(mysql_error());
$affected_rows = mysql_num_rows($Result1);
if ($affected_rows0){
session_start();
$_SESSION['wardadmin']=yes;
header(location: admin.php);
}
else {$bad=Incorrect username and Password;}
}
I can echo out the session here and see yes, but I have this code in
admin.php
?
session_start();
if ($_SESSION['wardadmin']!=yes) { header(location: login.php);
exit;
}
?
Thanks!

Sorry if you are getting this multiple times, email is acting a bit screwy.
Nope. still doesn't work. Sessions just aren't saved.

Re: [PHP] sessions no longer work
It doesn't matter if I just surf to the page and they do seem to get the
same phpsessionid..interestingly enough the first three cars are 'BAD'. Not
sure if the path is writable through.

check that the session save path is writable and have a look to
see if you are getting a new session id each time.
