sessions and cookies

by **Tjobbe** » Sat Aug 16, 2003 12:45 pm

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to use session variables and cookies on my "localhost".

The first file is ett.php, with the following code.

<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");
$_SESSION["out"] = "tjenare";
?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="tva.php">GO</a>
</body>
</html>

The receiving file is tva.php, with the following code.

<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$out = $_SESSION["out"];
echo "Out = $out";
?>
</body>
</html>

I dont get this to work!
Should I change any installations in PHP:INI or??????????????

I think this should work:

Code: Select all: <?php session_start(); header("Cache-control: private"); session_register('out); $_SESSION["out"] = "tjenare"; ?> <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <a href="tva.php">GO</a> </body> </html> The receiving file is tva.php, with the following code. <?php session_start(); header("Cache-control: private"); ?> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body> <?php echo "Out =" . $_SESSION["out"]; ?> </body> </html>

Looks like you were missing a closing quote on the fourth line above, Joan. It ought to be session_register('out'); Simple typo, I'm sure.

By the way, Tjobbe, I ran your code on my machine and it worked fine. Do different versions of PHP handle this differently?

When using $_SESSION[] variables, you do not need to use session_register().

TJobbe, are you using an old version of PHP? In older versions $_SESSION isn't available.

Hi!

I had the same problem before with session under windows. What I did was to create a directory sessiondata and specify it in the PHP.ini file under the session path.

I hope this will help your problem.
