Php Session Help

[monkeybidz]

I am having trouble calling the  session var "email" from the landing page. Here is the code that I am using. I am not even sure the session "email" is starting or registering.

 

$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$sql="SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$email' ";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $email, table row count must be 1 row

if($count==1){
// Session Register email
session_start();
  $_SESSION['email'] = $email;

header("location:".$referer2." ");
exit();
}

Would need to know if your post data $email  = $_POST['email'];  is working?  have you tried to echo it out?

 

if $email is not getting any post data then your session variable will be null.

always have session_start() at the top of any page where you plan on using sessions, if session_start() is not there, sessions will not be displayed. Never have session start() in a condition.

Awsome! I was missing session_start(); on landing page. Thanks!
