[RESOLVED] Session problem

Hello everybody,

I use session variables quite frequently bus this time when I set variable in one page and try to access it on another page, its just empty. Here's my code:

Page 1:

Code:

---

<?
        include "../includes/connect.php";

        $_SESSION["admin"] = "yes";
        echo "<script>location.href='main.php'</script>";       
?>

---

Page 2:

Code:

---

<?
        session_start();
        echo $_SESSION["admin"];
        exit;
       
        include "../includes/connect.php";
?>

---

Please let me know what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks.

You need to use session_start() before doing anything with session variables (echoing or setting them) - so add it to the top of your first bit of code.

and don't use javascript to redirect. use headers.

PHP Code:

---

header("Location: http://mysite.com/main.php");

Great, thanks.
