SESSION VARIABLE

External Since: Dec 01, 2003 Posts: 5

I have installed PHP 4.3 under windows with Apache. I know that it works as
I have run phpinfo() and a few small files that parsed ok.

However I cannot use session variables. They are not being passed on from
one page to the next.

I have tried my scripts on another computer where they work ok, so I assume
that something is wrong in my configuration. Can anyone give me a pointer
please?

Many thanks

How do you set the session vars? Try the following and check the output:

page1.php:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['message'] = "it works";
?>

page2.php:

<?php
session_start();
print $_SESSION['message'];
?>
