Note Submitter: Audun Rundberg ---- If you're using header('Location:' . $url) to redirect the user to another page, you should use session_write_close() to save session data before the redirect. $_SESSION is normally serialized and written to the harddrive when the script ends. Example: <?php $_SESSION["Message"] = "The task was completed."; session_write_close(); header('Location:' . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]); ?> Without session_write_close(), this next piece of code would not output "The task was completed". (Assuming that this code is in place where the user was redirected.) <?php echo $_SESSION["Message"]; ?>
