My page loads, and calls an init() function that returns content to a
div on the page, as well as setting a $_SESSION variable. The content
it returns includes a link that calls the same variable, but I get an
error that says the index isn't defined.
The second two calls are AJAX-generated. The second call immediately
echos the $_SESSION variable back after it sets it, and it sets it
properly. But the subsequent request doesn't see it.
I can't figure this one out, and this sort of function is vital to the
site I'm building.
Things I've already done:
Put session_start() in the functions that get called after the initial
pageload. Just generates warnings that a session has already been
started (by the original pageload).
Checked to make sure the same session is being used by all requests,
and it is (according to session_id).
Any help is appreciated.

session_start() must be called before ANY OUTPUT - including whitespace,
DOCTYPE statement, <head>, etc. 99% of the time people ask about
session problems here, they have already sent output before the call to
session_start() is made, but don't have error reporting enabled.
As the very first lines in the page you're loading, try the following:
<?php
error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set("displa y_errors","1");
?>
No whitespace or anything else before it.

You are supposed to use one session_start() per script, say your AJAX will
call the getnewcars.php to get a result, then you have session_start() first
in that script, and thats all, nothing in the functions that are called from
that script.

You can put session_start() after other output if you use ob_start to

Even if using buffering, it's a good thing to write it properly anyway.

There's no output going to the browser before session_start() . The
top of my script looks like this:
--quote
<?php
error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set("displa y_errors","1");
?>
<?php
/* Should only be debugging from one machine
* Should plan on making this a config variable
*/
if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '192.168.1.201' )
{
$debug = 1;
}
$html='';
require_once('i ncludes.php');
session_start() ;
--end quote
After that, there is content that is put into a variable and then run
through a filter before it gets echoed to the browser. There's an
onLoad="" call in the body tag that trips off another request, which
generates content that includes a link, as well as setting a $_SESSION
variable in the process. The problem is that it doesn't appear to
"write" the variable out to the session storage, because subsequent
requests can't see it.

Output starts here cos you have a gap between two php tags. It's the
whitespace effect.

I removed the ?and <?php tags from where you saw the whitespace, so
there's no extraneous whitespace. Had no effect on the problem I'm
seeing; the third request still cannot see changes to the $_SESSION
variable made by the second.

And can you be sure that *NOTHING* in your include.php file generates
output - including leading or trailing blanks, newline characters, etc.?
What do you get for error messages?

Output buffering just hides the real problem - it doesn't solve it.

Hi,
I'm not familiar with web programming, but I have a problem here.
I have a page. When a user click one button on it, I will use AJAX to
request a PHP script which will do a bunch of tasks, asynchronously.
These tasks might take long time so I want to keep the user informed
of the progress. The problem is that only the PHP script knows the
progress, how can the web page gets these information from PHP script?

This is my situation. I have 3 sets of data used on every page of my website. Two of these never change, and the reason they are stored in MySQL and recalled into the $_SESSION variable is simply because I want to have one place to update/change them if I ever need to.
