Can't Retrieve Session Variables


myarro

Recommended Posts

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.
