I just bought the book and worked up to chapter 2 page 47/48 (Passing the visitor's username)

The code seems to work fine as i can click the link in movie1.php
and it redirects me to moviesite.php. But the only thing that shows up on the page is the following:

"Sorry, but you don't have permission to view this page, you loser!"

This probably means that the session does not pass somehow.

Just before the "Try it out" code oon page 47 the writers mention the "session.save_path" settings. But sadly it's all they do.
When i look this snippet up in the php.ini the explenation above it does not make me any wiser.

So i tried enabling the "session.save_path" with the default setting: "/tmp".

As the explenation above said: the path structure will not be created automatically, so i manually created a /tmp folder in my apache test folder.

And, since i'm still posting my question, it obviously did not work.
Disabling the "session.save_path" gives me the same result...

Can anyone help me understand the session settings a bit better so i can set them up properly, or is this problem an entirely diffrent issue? Bottomline is that i need to figure this out, and google has yet to find me the correct answer.
Thanks in advance.

With kind regards,

Firstly, what Operating System are you using? A windows based one or Linux?

I found out what the problem was. It was a problem with my resolution (yes, resolution).

I was coding behind my tv and could not see the fact that i spelled sessiom somewhere instead of session.
I saw this only when i switched back to my monitor. and viola she worked :)

But thanks anyway!
