IF / Else / Echo Statements = Chaos. PLEASE HELP!!!

[Reece S]

Hi there, I am new to this forum, and I hope to get to know your all reasonably well.

I have been having a few problems with this short php script, Logically, it should work, but Technically, it does'nt. Here it is...

 

<?php
if($session->logged_in)
{
echo "logged in";
}else{
echo "Logged Out";
}
?>

 

Any Ideas?

Also, I tried using 

if (isset($_SESSION["username"]))

But with no luck.

Hope someone can help, because I am out of ideas.

Thanks in Advance.

echo your session to check if you really set it properly and be sure you have session start at the top of your page

Well, there is nothing wrong with the code you posted. You need to test that $session->logged_in is being defined properly.

page1.php

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["username"]="Fred";
?>

 

page2.php

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION["username"]))
{
echo "logged in";
}else{
echo "Logged Out";
}
?>

 

If this doesn't work, check that your session save path is correct in your php.ini file.

I am shocked!

 

I have been groaning about this code for days to anyone that would listen, and it was a simple error of the "Include" statement with the wrong URL, and that "session_start" statement as mentioned.

 

This is utterly rediculous, how could I have missed this?

 

Anyway, thank you so much, and feel free to call me whatever you want, cuzz I deserve it, lol.

 

Thank you so much, and thanks for the quick reply.
