Hi there, i tried the codes here for creating sessions but i have problems when am going to display the value saved in the session variables in my welcome page, it wont print the value of the session var. This is the code i used in checking user: <? /* Check User Script */ session_start();// Start Session header("Cache-control: private"); include '../inc/db_conn.php'; // Conver to simple variables $username = $_POST['user']; $password = $_POST['passwd']; if((!$user) || (!$passwd)){ echo "Please enter ALL of the information! <br />"; include 'index.php'; exit(); } // Convert password to md5 hash $passwd = md5($passwd); // check if the user info validates the db $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$user' AND password='$passwd' AND activated='1'"); $login_check = mysql_num_rows($sql); if($login_check > 0){ while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ foreach( $row AS $key => $val ){ $$key = stripslashes( $val ); } // Register some session variables! session_register('first_name'); $_SESSION['first_name'] = $first_name; session_register('last_name'); $_SESSION['last_name'] = $last_name; session_register('email_address'); $_SESSION['email_address'] = $email_address; session_register('username'); $_SESSION['username'] = $username; mysql_query("UPDATE users SET last_login=now() WHERE userid='$userid'"); header("Location: ../members/"); } } else { echo "You could not be logged in! Either the username and password do not match or you have not validated your membership!<br /> Please try again!<br />"; include 'index.php'; } ?> and this is the code for the successful login page (welcome page) <? session_start(); echo "Welcome ". $_SESSION['first_name'] ." ". $_SESSION['last_name'] ."! You have made it to the members area!<br /><br />"; ?> but the $_SESSION['first_name'] and $_SESSION['last_name'] is empty, i dont knw why. i open my session files in my c:\temp, i saw the value og the session there but when i echo the session $_SESSION['first_name'] and $_SESSION['last_name'], its empty, what did i do wrong? please help me
