myarro Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Just getting my feet wet and I ran into this problem. I pass a username and password to a login.php page where I authenticate the individual and then start a session: session_start(); session_register('$username_user'); $_SESSION['userID'] = $username_user; But neither of these variables are available on subsequent pages. But when I test for session_is_registered('$username_user') It test true. I tried placing these statements on the login page right after creating the variables echo "You are logged in as ".$_SESSION['$userID']."<br/><br/>"; echo "You are logged in as ".$_SESSION['$username_user']."<br/><br/>"; and they are blank. I am using MAMP on a MacBook Pro, if that matters. Thanks. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147933-cant-retrieve-session-variables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
