PHP SESSION on HTML Pages.

[m0v0nage]

 

My website is made up of html files. Recently I realized i needed php. I edited the .htaccess file so that it looks like this:

 

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

 

This allowed me to execute php on any html page. But one thing I am having trouble with is accessing Session information. I do this on an html page:

 

$name = $_SESSION['Name'];

 

with the session_start() at the top (I know I did that correctly). It can't seem to find the name. I do the same on a .php page, and it works. But why can't an html page access the Session variables? It can echo things and run other php functions, but why not the SESSION info.

 

I did a little debug test and here is what I got:

 

Notice: Undefined index: Name in /export/home/*****/************.com/public_html/AllWebPages/blog home page.htm

 

the stars are just for my privacy.

 

Apparently it says that there is no SESSION Name. But there is on a PHP page. Why?

Ant time you want to access session vars you must start a session, every time, every page.

Also make sure you use same session_name averywhere

You already have an existing thread for this problem - http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,286765.msg1359675.html#msg1359675

 

Did you bother to do what I suggested for debugging the problem in that thread?

Yes I did. I put it in my new post.
