Hi,
I am developing a website. In Login form , on successful login of user, i had created session variable $_SESSION['username'] and redirected to second page. In second page when i checked , isset($_SESION['username']) is returning false.
This is the first website I am developing. Do I have to change any settings in php.ini for sessions to work?

For us to *really* help and not just guess, we need to see your code. Please post it using [code] tags.
My guess is you're not starting the session with session_start().
Here is the code:
loginpage.php - <?php
-
session_start();
-
require('config.php');
-
-
if($_POST['submit'])
-
{
-
$username = $_POST['name'];
-
$password = $_POST['password'];
-
$mysql = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpassword);
-
mysql_select_db($dbdatabase,$mysql);
-
$loginsql = "select * from logins where username='" . $username ."' and password='". $password. "';";
-
$loginres = mysql_query($loginsql);
-
$numlogin = mysql_num_rows($loginres);
-
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($loginres);
-
if($numlogin==1)
-
{
-
session_register('USERNAME');
-
session_register('SESS_LOGGEDIN');
-
$_SESSION['USERNAME'] = $row['username'];
-
$_SESSION['SESS_LOGGEDIN'] = 1;
-
if(isset($_SESSION['USERNAME']))
-
{
-
header("Location:".$config_basedir."index.php");
-
-
}
-
else echo"sessions not set";
-
}
-
else
-
echo "Incorrect Login, please try again";
-
-
-
-
}
-
require('header.php');
-
-
-
-
?>
-
-
<form name='loginForm' action='<?php $SCRIPT_NAME?>' method='POST'>
-
-
<table>
-
<tr>
-
<td> UserName : </td> <td><input type='text' name='name'></td>
-
</tr>
-
<tr>
-
<td> Password : </td> <td><input type='password' name='password'></td>
-
</tr>
-
<tr>
-
<td> </td> <td><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Login'></td>
-
</td>
-
</table>
-
-
</form>
-
-
-
-
-
<?php
-
require('footer.php');
-
?>
On successfull login of user , page is redirected to index.php which is using header.php index.php - <?php
-
-
require('header.php');
-
?>
header.php - <?php
-
session_start();
-
require('config.php');
-
$db = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpassword);
-
mysql_select_db($dbdatabase,$db);
-
?>
-
-
<html>
-
-
<head>
-
<title><?php echo $config_blogname; ?> </title>
-
<link rel='stylesheet' href='stylesheet.css' tyep='text/css'>
-
</head>
-
-
<body>
-
<div id='header'>
-
<h1><?php echo $config_blogname; ?></h1>
-
</div>
-
<div id='menu'>
-
<a href='index.php'>Home</a>
-
<a href = 'viewcat.php'> Categories </a>
-
<?php
-
if(isset($_SESSION['USERNAME']))
-
{
-
echo "<a href='logout.php'> Logout</a>".$_SESSION['USERNAME'];
-
echo "<a href='addcat.php'> Add Category </a>";
-
echo "<a href='addentry.php'> Add Entry </a>";
-
}
-
else
-
echo "<a href='loginpage.php'> Login </a> <a href='signup.php'> SignUp </a> ";
-
-
?>
-
</div>
-
<div id="bar">
-
<img src= "../shoppingcart/Sai.jpg" width="200px" height="250px" top="200px">
-
</div>

<div id='main'>
In header.php isset($_SESSION['USERNAME']) is returning false.
have u check in loginpage line 16 $row['username']; is return any thing?
Yes. It is returning username correctly. In loginpage
isset($_SESSION['USERNAME']) is returning true. But echo $_SESSION['USERNAME'] is not printing anything.
try changing your code in the index.php to: -
<?php
-
session_start();
-
require('header.php');
-
?>
-
-
I hope this helps!

That shouldn't change anything but give you a notice for starting the session again.
Take lines 17 and 18 out of loginpage.php - this won't be the problem, but you don't need to use them.
I can't see anything wrong with what you posted.
We'll have to see if someone else can spot it.

The solution you have suggested (to add session_start() in index.php) is working in IE but not in mozilla. In mozilla firefox the problem still persists.
try to take out these lines from your login.php: - session_register('USERNAME');
-
session_register('SESS_LOGGEDIN');
I tried but of no use.......
PHP is not browser-specific: it does not act differently in different browsers.
