help with session

[stathisgotsis]

Hello everyone,
I am having a brain fart or something, why won't this work?

test.php:

<?php
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['username']='test';
header("Locatio n: test2.php");
exit();
?>

and test2.php:

<?php
session_start() ;
echo $_SESSION['username'];
?>

Any hint appreciated.

I would love to hear more opinions because I never use
session_write_c lose(), but never had any sessiontroubles either, not with
default sessionhandling (php/file) and custom (user/database).

So I would love to know if it is a serious improvement, or just a myth.

On session_start() , the page gets the session variables and on
exit() or implicit exit or session_write_c lose(), it writes back the
variables to session files--but there is a locking involved; unless any
of these are happened, any of the PHP files that tries to use the same
session/init the same session will get hanged. AFAIK, when using custom
session handler there is no locking involved.
