cannot set session variable

[anp241]

Hello,

          I cannot set the session variable in PHP code after setting

 

php_flag session.cookie_secure on

 

in .htaccess file.

 

What other setting I have to do, so that I can set the session variables values.

 

Thanks

Regards

Anoop

you need to run the PHP command to initiate a session.

 

session_start();

Is there some reason you are making that setting in you htaccess file? It's not technically needed to do what your post title suggests. To set a session var you simply assign a value to it just as you would for any php variable. Of course, as Joel states, you have to first start the php 'session' with the session_start() command. Place this at the top of all of your scripts as a habit so that you always have access to it.

 

<?php
session_start();
..
..
..
$_SESSION['myvar'] = "this value";
..
..

 

That's all there is to it. There are other things that come into play when you are being extremely security conscious or need to do some kinds of deception, but for your defined needs this is all you need.
