Session Help!

[JasperHope]

I need to know who the user is, so I have this running when the user types a password:

<?php if ( htmlspecialchars($_POST['password']) == 'Password'){
$_SESSION['userid'] = "Admin";
header('Location: http://www.example.com');
}
?>

It redirects you to this:

<?php
session_start();
if ($_SESSION['userid'] == "Admin") {
echo "You are Admin";
} else {
echo "You are not Admin";
}
?>

 

However, it returns: "You are not Admin".

 

Any suggestions ?

Do you have a session_start() in the first script as well? If not, it needs to have it.

 

You can always print_r($_SESSION) to see if it has the values you would expect it to have, also.

Thank you! That worked.
