Session variable not set?

[otuatail]

I found that I can't set a session variable on a previouse page. CODE:

 

<?

session_start();

$_SESSION['member'] = "2";

header('Location: board.php');

?>

 

If I set it on board.php it is OK.  Has this got something to do with header() ?

keep this in one page

<?php session_start();
$_SESSION['member'] = "2";
header('Location: board.php');
?>

 

and keep this in board.php

<?php session_start();
echo $_SESSION['member'];
?>

 

it echoed 2 for me

Show your code. It is working for me.

When learning, developing code, or debugging code, always check your web server log for errors and/or turn on full php error reporting.

 

If this is on your development system it is likely that the tmp folder that php is storing the session data files in either does not exist or does not have the proper permissions. It is also possible that the .php files have been saved as UTF-8 or Unicoded files and are outputting the language encoding characters before the <?php tag.

 

In either case, an error will be logged to help you pin down what the problem is.
