session problem

[MoMoMajor]

Ok so I have been working on a site for a few days and I got the site working on localhost on my comp perfectly. Sessions, database and all that.

 

I get hosting online and now my sessions don't work. The user will log in and it will welcome them and direct them to their page but after they click they are automatically logged out because none of the session variables work.

 

Is there something you have to change when you go with actual hosting or something?

Can you show the login script, and how you are setting your sessions?

if (isset($_POST['submitlogin'])) {

			//check username 
			if (($_POST['page_user'] == $usersnme) && (md5($_POST['page_pass']) == $userspass)) {
				$_SESSION['user_name'] = $user_name;
				$_SESSION['user']= 'admin';					
				echo "Thank you for logging in<strong> ".$_SESSION['user_name']."[".$_SESSION['user']."]</strong>";
				echo "Please click <a alt='home' title='Go' class='' href='../{$page_url}'>here<br/><br/></a>";	
				die();
			} else if ((md5($_POST['p_pass']) == $p_pass) && ($_POST['p_user'] != $usersnme))  {
				$_SESSION['user'] = 'participant';
				$_SESSION['user_name'] = $_POST['page_user'];
				$_SESSON['users_pass'] = $page_password;
				echo "Thank you for logging in ".$_SESSION['user_name'];

				echo "<br><br><strong>Please click <a href='../".$page_url."/'>here</a></strong> <br><br>";	
				die();				
			} 


			}

 

 

The problem is that once the user clicks the button the sessions disappear and it is really frustrating seeing as I had it working perfect on my machine  :facewall:

 

I started the session at the start of the page.

make sure you have session_start() on top of every page and that sessions are allowed on your new hosting...
