PHP member login session issue

[riverdiggidy]

I am createing a simply quiz site, where in order to participate in the quiz, you must first be logged in.

While working on my local machine, the code works perfectly.

I use the followin to create a session ID;

$_SESSION['SESS_ID'] = $member['id'];

 

Then, on my main page where i want dynamic code i include the following;

 

if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_ID']) || (trim($_SESSION['SESS_ID']) == '')) {

 

 

print ("

<div style='float:left; width:400px; height:215px; margin-left:500px;'>

<form class='login' method='post' action='login-form.php' style='float:right; margin-top:120px;' >

 

<input type='submit' class='button' name='submit' value='Sign In' style='float:right ; margin-right:20px;'>

 

</form>

<p style=' margin-top:170px; margin-left:160px;'>New Member? Start <a href='register-form.php'>Here</a></p>

</div>

"

);

}

else {

print "<h4 style='float:right; text-align: right; margin-top:150px; margin-right:50px;'>Welcome ". $_SESSION['SESS_NAME']. " <a href='logout.php'  style='float:right; text-align:right;'>Sign Out</a></h4>

";

 

 

For some reason, when the site is on the server, the session ID does not seam to get passed along.

Any Ideas how to remediy this?

the website is kingdomquiz.com if anybody is interested.

Did you include session_start(); at the beginning of your script?

Hi,

 

Please paste the output of all the session values by using below code,

 

echo "<pre>";

print_r($_POST['$_SESSION']);

 

and did you get the output for $_SESSION['SESS_NAME']?

 

Thanks.

You likely have a php.ini configuration difference between your development system and the live server or a problem with the session configuration on the live server.

 

Do you have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON (temporarily) on the live server so that any php detected errors will be reported and displayed to help point out problems that are occurring?

 

Have sessions ever worked on the live server or not just for the the code you are trying now?
