Hi,

This is really pissing me off now!

I am working on chapter 2 of beginning php,mysql and apache - moviesite.php and movie1.php. I am now working on Passing variables through sessions. I have cut and past the code (which I downloaded from the wrox site) for both php files (therefore if the code is coming from the source, it surely must be ok).

Every time I click the hyperlink: "click here to see information...." on the movie1.php, it should return:

Welcome to our site Joe 12345
My favourite movie is Life of Brian
My movie rating for this movie is : 5

However (even when I use the code from the book) No session information is passed at all, and all I get is:


My favorite movie is Life of Brian
My movie rating for this movie is: 5

I have checked the registered globals are off (they are) and made sure the php.ini file "session_save_path" is pointing to the C:/temp (which it is).

Does anybody no whats wrong or what I am doing wrong? I basically can't progress through the book until I resolve the problem as the next section uses sessions and cookies, and It won't work if the sessions don't work.

Help!!!!!

Kind regards
David

Well, lots of things could be happening.

Do you have session_start(); as the first output on the page.

Make sure that you are calling and setting the sessions with session capitalized like so.

$_SESSION['name'] = "Joe 12345";

echo ($_SESSION['name']);

Thats the only thing I can think of. I havn't read that book so I don't really know whats trying to be done. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your help. I'll give it a try.

David
