Hi,

I am having a problem passing session variable to the next page.

I am using PHP5.2, MySQL, and Apache 2.2 on Windows XP.

I read many forums and tried different/suggested solutions without success! I would appreciate your help with this.

In page1 I am using the simple code outline below:

<?PHP
session_start();
$color="green";
$_SESSION['color'] = $color;
?>

On page2 I used:

<?php
session_start();
echo "Color = ". $_POST['color']
echo "<br>Color =" . $_SESSION['color'];
?>

However, nothing gets displayed in page2!

Several posts suggest the problem could be in the PHP.ini file.
Here's related parts of my php.ini file:

;session.save_path = "50;/W:\Apache2.2\PHP\sessions\"
session.save_path = "W:\Apache2.2\PHP\sessions\"
session.use_only_cookies = 1
;session.save_path = "/tmp"
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = "W:\Apache2.2\PHP\sessions\"

I am not a PHP expert, and I would really appreciate your help with this.

Many thanks
Totti

I would like to know , how are you navigating from page 1 to page 2.
Can you just paste the whole source here

<?PHP
session_start();
$color="green";
$_SESSION['color'] = $color;
?>

On page2 I used:

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['color']))
echo "<br>Color =" . $_SESSION['color'];
?>

just it's working like that

Best bet is to use variables to store SESSION within a page and re-send it to sessions at the end of a page
Eg:-
page1
$sessionc=$_SESSION['color'];
//Lines of code
/*..........
..........
..........
..............*/
//Last line of your code
$_SESSION['color']=$sessionc;

This preserves session variables that may get lost within a page
