From: generalp2 at aol dot com Operating system: Unix PHP version: 7.2.28 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Session Variable failed to pass for weird reason Description: ------------ See below Test script: --------------- Can anyone tell me why this code didn’t work: $vu=$_SESSION["valid_user"]; $txt="PROBLEM: You may not proceed. You are not logged in."; if ($vu!="Yes") {php_alert($txt,"index.php");} but this code did? $chk=$_SESSION["valid_user"]; $txt="PROBLEM: You may not proceed. You are not logged in."; if ($chk!="Yes") {php_alert($txt,"index.php");} The Session variable didn’t pass from another program in the first case but did in the second case.
