Ive tried this on two servers and im still not seeing it just trying to
create a session and use session variables...

if everything is set up correctly, shouldnt the following work
to pass a value through the $_SESSION['foo'] variable?

 

page1.php

Code:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['foo']='test';
header("Location: /sandbox/page2.php");   
?>

page2.php

Code:

<?php
 session_start();
 if(!isset($_SESSION['foo']))
   {
      echo ' im not seein it.<br>';
      
   }  else
   {
      echo 'ah i see, its between the double colons ::'.$_SESSION['foo'].'::<br>';
   }

?>

Looks fine to me, that should work.

Do you have register globals on?

Found this reference, it might help.

Code:

Please note that if you have register_globals to On, global variables associated to
$_SESSION variables are references, so this may lead to some weird situations.

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['test'] = 42;
$test = 43;
echo $_SESSION['test'];

?>

Load the page, OK it displays 42, reload the page... it displays 43.

The solution is to do this after each time you do a session_start() :

<?php

if (ini_get('register_globals'))
{
    foreach ($_SESSION as $key=>$value)
    {
        if (isset($GLOBALS[$key]))
            unset($GLOBALS[$key]);
    }
}

?>
