[SOLVED] Sessions not working...

[pugboy]

For some reason, the code below doesn't work when I navigate to index.php?do=setsession

 

It seems that the session is not being set, or something weird...

 

<?php
$do = $_GET["do"];
$type = $_POST["type"];
$user = $_SESSION["user"];
if(!$user=="admin"){
echo "LOGGED OUT";
}
if($do=="setsession"){
session_start();
$_SESSION["user"] = "admin";
}
?>

 

Is there something wrong with my code?

session_start() needs to be at the top.  You are assigning a session variable to $user ...

Still doesn't work with this code:

 

<?php
if($do=="setsession"){
session_start();
$_SESSION["user"] = "admin";
}

$do = $_GET["do"];
$type = $_POST["type"];
$user = $_SESSION["user"];
if(!$user=="admin"){
echo "LOGGED OUT";
}
?>

okay because now you moved your $do assignment below your condition so $do will never equal setsession and you still have session_start inside the condition which will always fail now, so $user will never be assigned your session variable.

 

just put your code back to the way it was before, except move the session_start out of the condition to the top of your page.

Oh. I am so careless 

 

 

EDIT:

Says I am Logged out if I go to the regular index.php (without the query string)... Shouldn't it stay logged in and not display the logged out text?

 

EDIT2:

 

Oh... So the session start always has to be at the top...
