Question

I made a simple login function in PHP. My problem is that there are no session attributes when the browser hits page login_success.php

After i store

Answer 1

Apart from using session_start(), there can be a couple of other reasons as well:

1. Disk space is full on your server. This once happened to be the case with me. Try checking the available space on your server at root '/' (df -h).
2. The sessions directory on your server (where the session files are being written) has some permission issues.

Answer 2

Configure your php.ini like this:

session.auto_start = 1;

Or run following command at your first line:

ini_set('session.auto_start', 1);

Answer 3

Just use <?php session_start() ?> on top of page.

Answer 4

According to the php documentation: session_start

session_start() creates a session or resumes the current one based on a session identifier passed via a GET or POST request, or passed via a cookie.

So add session_start() to the top of your checklogin.php page.
