Hello code green,
I'm navigating from one page to another page in subdirectory
suppose: current page 'index1.php'
then in that page i write -
<a href='std/index2.php'>go to subdirectory</a>
-
then the session variable is lost when i navigate to 'index2.php' in std subdirectory..

nope, the session is not restarted..
in index1.php page i wrote.. -
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
-
session_start();
-
}
-
$_SESSION['temp']='value';
-
and in the index2.php page in std directory i'm trying to retrieve the variable |
