Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-03-18 20:19:22] generalp2 at aol dot com 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.
