session variable not being updated

[kannu]

hey guys,

 

i initialized a session variable in the following manner :-

 

<?php $_SESSION['test12'] = "<td><span id=\"custom_carat\">".$row_prod['total_carat_weight']."</span><span id=\"center_diamond1\">".$default_diamond['shape']."</span>"</td>";
echo $_SESSION['test12'];
?>

 

This works well, and the Session "Test12" is initialized.

Based on the user selection the above script is then called many times, each time the session value is updated, as I have the echo statement to check it

 

However, when I access the session variable from the next page by using the echo statement, only the first initalized value is given and not the further changed value as there might be.

 

Can you tell me please if there is something that I am missing in this.

 

thanks

You must have

<?php
session_start();
?>

at the start of every script where you use sessions.
