SESSION not being set

[doubledee]

Why is my SESSION not getting set in the code below?!

 

<?php
// Initialize a session.
session_start();

// Initialize Logged-In Status.
$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = FALSE;

// Display Logged-In Status.
echo '<p>$_SESSION[\'loggedIn\'] = ' . $_SESSION['loggedIn'] . '</p>';

exit();

 

When I run this I get...

 

$_SESSION['loggedIn'] =

var_dump($_SESSION['loggedIn']);

[doubledee]

var_dump($_SESSION['loggedIn']);

 

I actually tried setting it to "TRUE" and "FALSE" and the branching that depends on $_SESSION['loggedIn'] seems to be working, but why isn't the value being echoed?!

Because it isn't a string, it's a boolean. A true value should echo 1, a false will echo nothing.

 

if( $_SESSION['loggedIn'] === TRUE ) {
     echo 'True';
}
if( $_SESSION['loggedIn'] === FALSE ) {
     echo 'False';
}

    echo 'True';

}

    echo 'False';

}

 

 

Why doesn't FALSE echo as zero (0)???

function login() {
$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = TRUE;

// Display Logged-In Status.
echo login();

echo login();

I don't get it?

 

Someone said earlier that TRUE should echo as "1"?

 

Any other language I've ever programmed in would display a BOOLEAN?

yes so if the session is set as TRUE or 1  the user should be logged in.

Are you baiting me and trying to start a fight??
