#42751 [NEW]: Session variable accessible only in the page where it is set

From: neetisomaiya at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.4.7 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Session variable accessible only in the page where it is set Description: ------------ Hi, I have 3 php scripts. In the first script I have a dropdown box, the user selects an organism from this and clicks submit. This takes him to page2. In the page2.php script, the organism value is set as a session variable. When I print the organism name on page2 after setting it as a session variable, it works fine and shows me the value that the user had choosen on the first page. This page2 has a second dropdown where the user chooses a pathway and clicks submit. This takes the user to page3. In the page3.php script, the pathway value is set as a session variable. When I print the pathway value on this page3, it works fine, it shows me the value chosen by the user on page2. But when on this page3 I try to print the organism value, which was chosen on page1 and set as a session variable in page2.php, I don't get its value. What could be the problem? I am using session_start() on both page2 and page3. Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see both the organism name and pathway name on page3 because both are session variables. Actual result: -------------- I get the organism name on page2 and pathway name on page3, but I want both organism name and pathway name on page3. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42751&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42751&r=mysqlcfg
