hey that if loop i was giving for an example any way iam taking username and password from database
there is no problem in it i just used here for an idea
but my main problem is in my next page i am not getting this session variable value.
i even used session_write_close(); because as iam redirecting i used session_write_close
but still iam getting $_SESSION['user'] value null.
and see iam assigning the value username which user entered and after checking it with the data base iam assigning it to $_SESSION['user']
so i think i should compulsory use
$_SESSION['user'] = $username;

<?php
session_start();
$msg="";
if(isset($_POST['username' ]))
{
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['userpass'];
if($password == "dss" && $username == "dss")
{
$_SESSION['user'] = $username;
session_write_close();
header("Location:1.php");
}else{
header("Location:login.php ?msg=pwdEr r");
}
}
?>
this is my code but when i go to 1.php i get $_SESSION['user'] value null.
session_start();
$msg="";
if(isset($_POST['username'
{
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['userpass'];
if($password == "dss" && $username == "dss")
{
$_SESSION['user'] = $username;
session_write_close();
header("Location:1.php");
}else{
header("Location:login.php
}
}
?>
this is my code but when i go to 1.php i get $_SESSION['user'] value null.
Sorry I thought that was actual code.
Have you tried passing the session id through the url. If you don't pass the SID through the URL it requires cookies. I am not sure how the cookies are handled in linux. You can however pass the sid using the URL and you never have to worry about your site not working becuase of disabled cookies.
header("location:1.php?" . SID );
exit();
The code above attaches the session id to the url and redirects the browser then exit halts all parsing of code. Now you should be able to retrieve your session variable in 1.php as long as you have started the session using session_start();

You can pass sessions variables using get or cookies
For get you have pass it in the URL on each page
for cookies, you can use Cookie function in PHP, you have return cookies before the <html> page. The explanation of Cookie function can be found at
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

i am getting session id in 1.php page but iam not getting my session_['user'] still null
ASKER
i have been not use cookies in this so i cant use cookies here
Can you add the exit() function after your header on the main page and try it again? Also if that does not work can you show me the code block from 1.php?

thanks that was real gr8 help i just assigned $_session['user'] to 0 first then i was updating with username entered it was done
thanks star_trek
and thank you to sgtpredator
thanks star_trek
and thank you to sgtpredator
shouldn't there be a == between usernames?
second are you sure you are starting the session on the all pages using: session_start();
Also you should be retrieving the session variable in 1.php like this: $username=$_SESSION['user'
Currently the if statment is always going to return true becuase you have = instead of == which means the else statement will never get processed. I hope that helps.
