ReVeR Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hello.I have a login scipr tnad i use sessions to store some data. Basicly i have 2 files.first file index.php has all the login stuff like forms etc, and the other files generates a random number to check for validity. A/w i need to store the random number after it was generated half way down the page in a session, so then when user presse login butotn, and the script at the top of the page runs, the number is still stored in the session.I use start_session() in both of my files, index.php and the file that generates the random number, but when i try to do this:[code]$_SESSION['image_random_value'][/code]in the index.php (the above value is created in the other file.) i get that image_random_value is undefined even though it is defined in the other file.Any ideas?

redarrow Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 post the other session that is set ok.Must not be set correctly try one hope one works good luck.Also make sure you got no white spaces or any html before the session_start();Is it set like this.$image_random_value=('$_SESSION['image_random_value']');or$image_random_value=('.$_SESSION['image_random_value'].');or$image_random_value=('".$_SESSION['image_random_value']."');its all guess work sorry.also post the error good luck.
