RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: header-session problem

Are saying that session can not persist over different pages? -----Original Message----- From: Alan McDonald To: php-windows@lists.php.net Sent: 2004-02-16 10:57 Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: header-session problem I'm afraid that's not what the seesion is all about. The session is a unique value. It is assigned to a cookie if specified in php.ini or is tagged along in all your URLs as a query string or $_GET and has the name PHPSESSID by default unless you change it. If you want to save something fro page 1 and retrieve it in page 3, then you will need to do the same hing and store this value as a cookie. $_COOKIE['cookiename'] will retrieve it. But there are some provisos. You cannot assign a cookie value and set header("Location.. etc on the same page, the cookie will not be set. You need to set a cookie and let the page return to the browser. That's with Windows environments anyway. Alan
