Re: sessions / cookies / header("Location...

yup, your browser is not accepting cookies. thats a good guess. when a browser does not accept cookies, trans-sid will kick in, trans-sid will not work on full urls, just reletive urls. no trans-sid http://www.mediawaveonline.com/index.php trans-sid /index.php header redirectect require (supposed to require) full urls. in other words its a good idea to put PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID on all your full urls anyhow, just incase for non-cookie browsers. -- Chris Lee lee@mediawaveonline.com "Christian Dechery" <lemming@vento.com.br> wrote in message news:5.0.0.25.2.20010517133215.0212da10@pop.tanamesa.com.br... I have a page that does a login... right after the login is successfull it registers a session var called 'userid'... and does a header("Location: newpage.php") which checks for the existance of this var... if it exists it will show, otherwise it goes back to the login page... the weird thing is... it always worked fine, even if I logged in and out with three different users to test it... but now it only works if I replace the header() thing with: header("Location: newpage.php?PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID") why is this weird now? it use to work... and the weird thing is... while in newpage.php the user does some stuff which calls itself and also gets this 'userid' var... and gets it fine without any PHPSESSID stuff... any clues? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
