$_SESSION variable disappears

[obay]

i have a very weird problem..

 

page1.php:

 

session_start();
$_SESSION[username] = "myname";
header("location:page2.php");

 

page2.php:

 

print_r($_SESSION);
session_start();
print_r($_SESSION);

 

yields:

 

Array( ) Array( )

 

when the second print_r() is supposed to print the session variable.

 

What is wrong? Any help appreciated!!!

I presume globals are switched off, try

 

echo $_SESSION['username'];

thanks for the reply!

 

but what do you mean by globals is turned off? should i turn it on? how?

 

$_SESSION['username'] doesn't work also..

This doesn't have anything to do with globals - that's a different situation.

 

Change this:

 

$_SESSION[username] = "myname";

 

to this:

 

$_SESSION["username"] = "myname";

 

And see if that helps.

$_SESSION["username"] = "myname";

 

doesn't work also..
