[SOLVED] PHP Sessions! Help!

[evie]

I am trying  to pass session variables from one web page to the other throughout my website but it seems impossible..

 

I am using php 4.3.1 and put following code for session registration

session_start();

 

$_SESSION["$username"]=$_POST["username"];

 

Additionaly, i tried to append session_register("username") and global $username; to the code, but unfortunately to no avail.

 

Could you please help me out? Maybe I need to change some settings in my php.ini file?

So far, php.ini has following content:

 

_{register_globals = off}

_{allow_url_fopen = off}

_{expose_php = Off}

_{max_input_time = 60}

_{variables_order = "EGPCS"}

_{extension_dir = ./}

_{upload_tmp_dir = /tmp}

_{precision = 12}

_{SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net}

 

_{session.save_handler = files}

_{session.use_cookies = 1}

_{session.name = FOO}

_{session.auto_start = 0}

_{session.cookie_lifetime = 60}

_{session.cookie_path = c:\temp}

_{session.cookie_domain =}

_{session.serialize_handler = php}

_{session.gc_probability = 1}

_{session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440}

_{session.referer_check =}

_{session.entropy_length = 0}

_{session.entropy_file =}

_{session.cache_limiter = private}

_{session.cache_expire = 180}

_{session.use_trans_sid = 1}

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, cause I have literally spent hours for this matter!

$_SESSION[user] = "bob";

 

echo $_SESSION[user];

 

Will produce bob

try single quotes

 

$_SESSION['user_name'] = $_POST['user_name'];

U dont need the $ sign if isnt your intend to call a variable:

 

normal

$_SESSION["username"]=$_POST["username"];

 

if calling a variable

$_SESSION[$username]=$_POST["username"];

 

Anyway when using double quotes it returns the variable so if u were calling it, thats not causing your problem, i guess.
