session lost

[stvchez]

I'm not sure what is going on.  yesterday, session management was working.  today, I cannot get a session to pass from page to page no matter what I try.

 

// page 1

$username = $_POST['username'];

$_SESSION['sessUser'] = $username;

 

//page 2

session_start();

$username = $_SESSION['sessUser'];

 

echo"$username"; //nothing...

 

is there any troubleshooting methods or anything that I could try?

[bhavin_85]

  echo print_r($_SESSION);

 

 

use that to check if there are any sessions set

I get this in return. 

Array ( ) 1

ok so that tells you that the session variable is not setting anything, can you past the full code for page 1 and 2...the php parts that is

here is the php code from each page.  thanks.

 

// page1

 

session_start();

 

$username = $_POST['username'];

echo"$username";  // value:  test123

$password = $_POST['password'];

$_SESSION['sessUser'] = $username;

$_SESSION['loggedin'] = "true";

 

session_register("username");

session_register("password");

header("Location: /virtual-coach/calendarHome.php");

}

 

 

page 2

 

session_start();

$username = $_SESSION['sessUser'];

$loggedin = $_SESSION['loggedin'];

 

echo print_r($_SESSION);

echo "$username";
