Session variables - id doesnt want to pass.

[markspec87]

2 of my variables will work but the third just doesnt want to work and im stumped why.

index page code:
[code]
if (isset($_SESSION['username']))
{
    echo "Welcome back " . $_SESSION['username'];
    echo "click <a href='logout.php'>here</a> to logout<BR>";
    echo "click <a href='editprofile.php?id=" .$_SESSION['userid']. "'>here</a> to edit your profile<BR>";
    echo $_SESSION['userid'];

}
else
{
    echo "your not signed up, <a href='signup.php'>signup</a> now or <a href='login.php'>login!</a>";
}[/code]

the 4th echo for userid was just for debugging, but its still not working. The username works fine.

Login code: (relevant)

[code]if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1)
{
    // retrieve the access level
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
   
    // set the session vars:
    $_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
    $_SESSION['accesslevel'] = $row['accesslevel'];
    $_SESSION['userid'] = $row['id'];
}[/code]

The row definitely exists and has values in the records, yet on the main page the variable is always null.

Any ideas guys?

I dont see any call to session_start().

yeh sorry ive missed bits out.

Both files have session start, as i said, the username passes perfectly, but the ID just doesnt work.

well your setting $_SESSION['username'] to a $_POST variable while your others are being set from a row in the database. It would appear that row is not populated properly.
