[SOLVED] Session variable help

[cfgcjm]

When a user logs in through my script the code has a line which says this:

 

$_SESSION['client'] = $row['client'];

 

later i have a page called journal.php which is simply supposed to read $_SESSION['client']

via this script:

<?php
if($_SESSION['client']==1)
{
print'you are a client';
exit;
}
if($_SESSION['client']==0)
{
print'you are NOT a client';
exit;
}
?>

 

But it does not give the intended result

any ideas why?

the session wouldn't be set unless you hvae session_start(); on the top of the page pre header output
