Will not set $_SESSION

[tecmeister]

Hi guys,

 

I'm having a big problem with setting a session.  I have tried to set a session on every page but nothing is happening.  I have tried it on my online server and on localhost and still getting the same problem.

All that is happening is:

PHPSESSID what I use session_start();

 

Please will someone be able to help me with the problem?

 

Thanks,

 

tecmeister.

Post some code so we can see what you are doing.

[tecmeister]

example:

session_start();
$_SESSION['something'] = "Something"

[sKunKbad]

So what happens if you do this:

 

print_r($_SESSION);

[tecmeister]

Array ( [attemps] => 0 [test] => 0 )

[sKunKbad]

Well, so you do have a session array, and it is showing two keys that you must have set at some point.

 

try this:

 

echo '<h1>' . $_SESSION['test'] . '</0>';

 

You should see a big 0

I use this:

if(isset($_SESSION['attemps'])){

echo "Then do this";

}

else{

$this->attemps();

}

 

and it keeps on doing the else.

don't forget the session_start();

 

session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['attemps'])){
echo "Then do this";
}else{
//$this->attemps();
$_SESSION['attemps'] = 1;
echo "Refresh me";
}
