[DeathStar]

try just removing the session_start();

and if it html codes why is it php?

[PunjabHaker]

because i use some session variables to print something

in index.php i have

$_SESSION['word'] = "Hello";

and i want to print it in s.php

like print $_SESSION['word'];

please help

[DeathStar]

[PunjabHaker]

still can't fucking understand why it doesn't work

could it be from the php ?

i have php5 installed

[JasonLewis]

no place for swearing, keep your temper controlled. impatience leads to the dark side of the force... (thats me quoting yoda )

 

now... this is what your s.php page should look like:

 

<?php
session_start();

echo "<a href='".$_SESSION['backlink']."'>Go Back</a>";
?>

 

and this is what your index.php page should look like:

 

<?php
session_start();

$_SESSION['backlink'] = "index.php";
echo "<a href='s.php'>Go to S.php</a>";
?>

 

with your code make sure there are no whitespaces between the absolute top of your page and <?php and session_start(); must be directly after it.
