Someone pls help me!!

something wrong with my session.

<?php
// page1.php

session_start();


echo 'Welcome to page #1';

$_SESSION['favcolor'] = 'green';
$_SESSION['animal'] = cat;
/*$_SESSION['time'] = time();*/

// Works if session cookie was accepted
echo '<br /><a href="page2.php">page 2</a>';

// Or maybe pass along the session id, if needed
echo '<br /><a href="page2.php?' . SID . '">page 2</a>';

Make sure you have cookies enabled in the browsers you're testing with and have no extensions that block cookies. Also, make sure that any third party software like network security isn't blocking sessions.

Take a look at our session troubleshooting guide:

Read ALL items in the list. Try just the simple code script in item #10.
