php sessions not working
- by Elwhis
Hey guys,
I have a problem, tried to google some sollutions but without success. I am working with wamp2.0 - PHP 5.3, apache 2.2.11 but my sessions are not storing data.
I have a page that accepts a parameter, which (simplified version) I wanna store in a session, so I when I come to www.example.com/home.php?sessid=db_session_id
the script looks like:
session_start();
$sessid = @$_GET['sessid'];
if ($sessid) {
$_SESSION['sessid'] = $sessid;
}
var_dump($_SESSION);
and outputs:
array(1) { [0]=> string(13) "db_session_id" }
which is fine, but then, when I go to www.example.com/home.php (without the sessid parameter) the $_SESSION array is empty. I've event tried to comment the $_SESSION['sessid'] = $sessid; line before going to the page without the parameter, but still it didin't work.
I've checked the session_id() output and the session id remains the same.
