Something strange has just started to happen as I have been developing
a db application on a site. Suddenly a session variable has stopped
working as I pass it from 1 page to another (I am sure it was OK a few
days ago).
I have done some tests.
$temp = 67;
echo $temp; gives 67 on this page
S_SESSION['org'] = $temp;
Passes ok and has value 67 on the next page
$temp = "abc"
echo $temp gives "abc" on this page
S_SESSION['org'] = $temp;
Passes ok and has value abc on the next page
$temp = $_POST['CUST_ORG']
echo $temp; gives "org 1" on this page
S_SESSION['org'] = $temp;
No value on next page
Other session variables seem ok also.

And you have gone back with the values you know that work just to make
sure you did not goof up the code after testing the one that does not work?
Maybe it's a typo here but S_SESSION should be $_SESSION.
Shoot us the actual code, sometimes there are small procedural problems
that don't transcribe when writing it to the NG.

My mistake in this post I'm afraid. All $_SESSION variables correct.
Here they are cut & pasted -
Page 1 - Set up
$_SESSION['org_details'] = $_POST['ORD_ORG'];
Page 1 use
<h1><?php echo $_SESSION['org_details']; ? OK
Page 2 use
echo $_SESSION['org_details'];
Value is empty

Are you using anything like Smarty templates or some other such thing?
Does debug or verbose output help show anything?

Thanks Charles.
I can't see why the others work without the brace though.
I stored the $_POST value in a db so I was able to pull it out again
which defeats the use of the session variable.
There seems to be some conflict between POST and SESSION but I can't
think what I have chabged that could make a difference.

All i can think of doing now to verify your values is output all your
session values.
print_r($_SESSI ON);
on both pages and see what comes out for sure.
Also you may want to print_r($_POST) on page one to verify your values
there too.
Always remember 'junk in, junk out'

That's still not the whole code, we can't see the form that produces the
$_POST variable. My guess is that you are reloading the page somehow
without posting the form which is destroying the session variable.
You will be better off using concatenation with session variables to
avoid possible problems with mathematical operators (eg - and * )
echo
'--'.$_SESSION['org_details'].'-<BR>--'.$_SESSION['org_details1'].'-<BR>--'.$_SESSION['org_details2'].'-<BR>--.'$_SESSION['org_details3'];
Reduce it down to the smallest possible snippets of code that produce
the problem. If the solution is not obvious, post the code.

You need braces around your array elements when using them in a
double-quoted string, and single quotes around the array indexes.
The correct way to do it would be:
echo
"--{$_SESSION['org_details']}-<BR>--{$_SESSION['org_details1']}-<BR>--{$_SESSION['org_details2']}-<BR>--{$_SESSION['org_details3']}";
Additionally, as NN indicated, ensure you have session_start() at the
beginning of EVERY page which uses session data.
And ensure you have these in the php.ini file on your development system:
display_errors= on
error_reporting =E_ALL
