i start a new session with : session_start();
then i set some session variable like this :
$_SESSION['name']=$_POST['name'];\
and some another variables.
at bottom of page i set header to diffrent page :
header('location: index.php');
exit();
now in new page (index.php i can't access to my session
variables, like $_SESSION['name'])
what's wrong ?
thanks.

a.php

========================================

session_start();

require ('config.inc.php');
if(isset($_POST))
foreach($_POST as $v=>$k)
{
$items[$v]=$k;
}

$sql="SELECT * FROM members WHERE
username='{$items['user']}' AND
pass=MD5('{$items['Password']}') ";
$res=mysql_query($sql);
$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
if($row['username'])
{ $_SESSION['type']=$row['type'];
$_SESSION['name']=$row['name'];
$_SESSION['family']=$row['family'];
$_SESSION['username']=$row['username'];
$_SESSION['date']=$row['date'];

Answer / ravi

It may be possible you are not start $_SESSION() in index
page. Your code which are shown above is correct. Or may be
You closed session. So checked your code.

Answer / muthu

Ravis answer is correct. But sessions wont be closed. It
will be active till the browser closes. OR if($row
['username']) fails that session variable wont be created.
Better you should assign like $_SESSION['name']=''.

Answer / paras

if you have written session_start() in you index.php file
then surely it will work. If you can provide you index.php
file's code then we can answer it with better solution!

Answer / rahul prasad

Its not working because you have used "exit" at the end.
And it wont work even if you add session_start() at the
beginning.

Remove "exit" and it will work correctly.

Answer / jose martini

I created 4 files:
start.php
admin.php
index.php
sessionend.php

Code:
====================
<?php
/* File: start.php
*/
session_start();

$_SESSION['name']= "Jose";
$_SESSION['lastname']= "Martini";

echo "Start:" . $_SESSION['name'];

header('location: admin.php');

exit();
?>
=================
<?php
session_start();

echo "Admin";
if (isset ($_SESSION['name'])) {
header('location: index.php?'.$_SESSION['name']);
}
else {
echo "Admin: No Session";
}
exit ();

?>
================
<?php
/*
*/
session_start();

if (isset ($_SESSION['name'])) {
echo $_SESSION["name"];
}
else {
echo "Index: no Session";
}

exit();
?>
=======
<?php
/*
*/
session_start();
session_destroy();

echo "End Session";

?>
================

I tried to reproduce the error, the only way that the
session is not available is if you miss to start the session
or to initialized the session variable.

the exit() does not affect the result.
