Session with php problem

[HaSaN]

hello guys
i have a problem ..
i puted in all my php files the session_start() insastruction, the problem is that when i open a file a new session will created and never a session will continue.

i regestred many variabels in a session and when i change the page the browser forget the values i checked the sessions folder and i remarked that new files were created.

I read in books that this instruction continue the session if it was created and create it if it wasn't.

please tell me waht should be the problem.

please please please HELP!!

You *might* have to manually set the session id on all the pages. It's supposed to pass it in a cookie and automatically set it but you never know.

i didn't set manualy the session id

I know I know

I mean when you got to a new page you might have to set the ID for it to recognize the sessions which means you have to pass it in a the url. I've had to do that before even thought it's supposed to load the id automatically.

but please tell me how to send the session id

thanks

um... do you have cookies enabled when you test it?

or you can try changing the session.cookie_lifetime thingee in the php.ini file??

You would need to use the output buffer to add the session ID as a $_GET varible onto all the links on your page.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php

More specifically output_add_rewrite_var()

But make sure it's not the lifetime or a setting in your php.ini that is causing it. Use that as a last resort.
