session variable cleared when page redirected.

[sso]

I have a similar problem to something that was recently posted.
I set a session var called "valid" on the login page. When the
browser is redirected to the page mem/index.php it seems like the
session variable is wiped.

I've tried this on my linux server as well as locally with the same
result.

suggestions?



login.php
---------------
if ($status == 1)
{
// initiate a session
session_start();
$_SESSION['valid'] = 1;
//redirect to protected page
header("Location: mem/index.php");
exit();
}
---------------


mem/index.php
---------------
print_r($_SESSION); // prints nothing.

try this:

mem/index.php
---------------

session_start();
print_r($_SESSION);   //   prints nothing.

You are more than likely going to have to call session_write_close() before you redirect to make sure all the necessary headers are sent:

http://us2.php.net/session_write_close

Well, I've seen it before, and the problem was the address...
we were accessing the page by its name, but, redirecting it by its IP Address...then, once the session uses the address to be "cookied", it was returning a new and empty session.
You don't NEED to use write_close in PHP 5, but session_start is needed before using SESSION variables, and specialy, before ANYTHING be writen in the page.

Hope I have been useful.

cheers.

Add:
session_start();
to the top of your index.php - it will work.
Another thing: session_start(); should be the first instruction, out of that IF statement in the login file.

Hi,

Put session_start(); statement as a first statement on the login page.

On index page use session_start(); statement as a first statement.
Then your session will expire on index page.

see dear the best solution is :

<?

session_start();

       $my_session_value=$_SESSION['valid'] ;

      echo  $my_session_value;

If your session is not saved upon header redirect then you need to use
the http://www.php.net/session_write_close function to manually write
the data to disk.

Try something like this:

<?php
// Start the session
session_start();

// Set some session value
$_SESSION['valid'] = 1;

// Manually write the session data - should be just before the redirect
session_write_close();

// This should be a *FULL URI* per RFC specification!!!

header("Location: mem/index.php");
exit();

?>

You may want to look into the subdirectory from where you're
redirecting the page to.

E.g. A session in "/login/index.php" is different from a session in "/
mem/index.php". This could a possible cause. If it is then, you may
want to use cookies to help keep track.
