PHP Session Variable

[NitinSawant]

Hello,
I'm new to php,

I'm storing temp variable in SESSION

$_SESSION['temp']='value';

when i go from one php page to other php page, the session variable is accessible
but when i go to the other page in a subdirectory.. the SESSION variable is not accesible..

am i missing some php configuration?

pls help

but when i go to the other page in a subdirectory

PHP does not have a GOTO command!

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..

is in that page the session restarted?

[NitinSawant]

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

$var=$_SESSION['temp'];

@NitinSawant
as I thought… you need to open a session first:

Note: […] Also note that you must start your session using session_start() before use of $_SESSION becomes available. […]

[NitinSawant]

But i'm starting the session on index page only

session_start();
 

[NitinSawant]

well, what i was missing is adding 'session_start();' on every page...

nevermind, i got it..

prob. solved

@NitinSawant
That's exactly what Dormilich told you to do. :)
