ted_chou12 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Is it same when you echo, or you just have to put it where you set it?They are on 2 different pages Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33073-is-setting-the-session-like-this-correct/#findComment-154114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 To have data in $_SESSION session_start must be on the page, so yes, it must be on the echo page.

.josh Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 just put session_start(); at the beginning of your script. It tells php that you have a session going on (or to start one, if you don't). [code]<?php session_start(); $_SESSION['blah'] = 'something'; echo $_SESSION['blah']; // output: something?>[/code]you need to have session_start(); on every page you wish to access your session varsif it is still echoing out nothing, then I would check your $to and $subject to see if they are holding what you are expecting them to hold.

ted_chou12 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 can session be passed through two different host servers? I think thats the problem...I remember session is stored in the temporary folder of your host, so it cannot be passed to another server, is that right?

.josh Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 okay first you say it's on another page, now you say it's on another server? If you expect results, try starting with non-vague questions/descriptions.no, you cannot pass a session from one server to another. Well actually, you can, but I have a sneaking suspicion that that circumstance does not apply to you. So no.

TEENFRONT Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 does it need to be a session? perhaps you could wack the session vars from server 1, into a get/post request for server 2? then once server 2 has the vars, set them as a session on server2?whatever.. lol Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33073-is-setting-the-session-like-this-correct/#findComment-154933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
