I tried every example of creating a session variable I could find and got the same results with all of them. The session variables got set on the initial page but that's the only place I could access them. I'm certain others new to php have come across this and felt equally foolish after discovering the solution. This is a sample login page that starts a session when a user successfully logs in: <? $connect... $sql ... list($id,$first_name) = mysql_fetch_row($sql); session_start(); if (!session_is_registered('user_id')) { session_register('user_id'); $user_id = $id; session_register('user_name'); $user_name = $first_name; } else { echo "<p>Session is set and should now be availalbe on all pages via a cookie. At least that what I expected."; } //Sadly, these vars were only available on this page. echo "<p>ID: $user_id"; echo "<p>Name: $user_name"; ?> Solution: What I did NOT do, and what is not made very clear in any literature I came across, is that you need to set the session_start() function at the top of EVERY page that will be in the session. Hope this helps. | |||||
