AJAX Login With Session Variables Inconsistent At Domain Root

[GregL83]

Hey all  .

I have built a login system using AJAX.  The system worked perfect on my local machine.  Once I uploaded the script to my hosting server I noticed a problem.  I can log in and the session variables are carried to each page; however, when I go to my domain root for example http://domain.com instead of http://domain.com/index.php I run into problems.  The session seems to exist in radical states.  The session variables I set are recognized at random about 40% of the time.  I can hit refresh multiple times and watch myself be logged in and be logged out like a slot machine.  No other page is experiencing this problem.  Even stranger, I logged out and went to domain root http://domain.com and hit refresh and achieved the same results.  My session variables were existent sometimes and non existent other times.  I went back to other pages on my site and the session variables did not exist because I had logged out. Obviously this seems to be a problem with my sessions.  At the top of each page <?php session_start(); ?> is placed.  I then use a login class to check if the user is logged in and set $logged_in equal to true or false.

 

My basic page flow is as follows:

 

LOGIN

random page -> login popup div -> send login form elements to ajax page located in ajax folder -> ajax page uses login class to login or display errors

 

LOGOUT

random page -> logout page -> call login class to destroy session and variables

Code would help.

My web host had the save session line commented out of the PHP.ini file!

Solved.
