here it is Array ( [myusername] => )

When I try to echo it just says "Welcome" with no username. Tried assigning it to a variable, but no go, same thing. if (isset($_SESSION)) { echo "Welcome " . $_SESSION['myusername']; } else echo "not logged in";

awesome. it works now. I'd like to print the username something like "Hi, [user] you are logged in". How can I call the username variable in every other page? I'm new at this, in case you can't tell

This is my first post here. G'day everyone. I'm having trouble with getting a session recognized from one page to another. I did a search and used the advice but I'm still having trouble. I have a page called checklogin.php that processes the information submitted for a member to login, and redirect it to login_success.php if the login was successful. The problem I have is when I test the session in the second page it tells me there is no session. Here's my code (I omitted the db connection code): <?php // username and password sent from form $myusername=$_POST['user']; $mypassword=$_POST['pass']; ?> <? // Mysql_num_row is counting table row $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row if($count==1){ // Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php" $_SESSION['myusername']=$myusername; $_SESSION['mypassword']=$mypassword; header("location:login_success.php"); } else { echo "Wrong Username or Password"; } ?> after I am redirected to login_success.php: <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['myusername']; if (isset($_SESSION['myusername'])) { $loggedin = TRUE; return $loggedin; echo "logged in."; } else echo "not logged in"; ?> It echoes "not logged in". I've struggled with this for days and I don't know what's wrong. Thanks in advance.
