SESSIONS
at the top of my page i have this:
<?php
session_register();
if($_SESSION['username'] == '')
{
$_SESSION['username'] = trim($_GET['username']);
header("Location:http://192.168.0.2:7810");
}
?>
what im trying to do is when the page loads, check if $_SESSION['username'] has been registered. if YES just show the page else register the session and refresh the page...
but it isnt working... no errors BTW!

see if i remove the header and not redirect it works fine, but since im using GET user can change username value in address so i need to redirect after session is set...
any idea's

After doing a little Googling this seems to be a common problem.
try using
header('Location:http://192.168.0.2::7810/index.php?' . sid);
try using
header('Location:http://192.168.0.2::7810/index.php?' . sid);

what is sid?
I'm assuming it's session id. It was posted in serveral places as a solution, but I find it odd that it's not treated as a varible. Give it a try if it doesn't work there might be another way.

im trying this to test ....
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION["userna
{
echo "already set<br><br>";
echo $_SESSION['username'];
}
else
{
$username = trim($_GET['username']);
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
header('Location:http://192.168.0.2:7810/index.php');
}
?>
