Sessions

I am confused on how to define $_SESSION['text']

On one page I defined:

$_SESSION['picture1_type'] = $_FILES['picture1']['type'];
echo $_SESSION['picture1_type'] ;

echo displayed the correct data. image/gif

On the next page, I echo:

echo "Session 1 = ".$_SESSION['picture1_type'];
$ii=1;
echo "Session i = ".$_SESSION['picture'.$ii.'_type'];

Now both display empty value.

Session 1 = Session i =

What can make a session variable reset to "" ?

The other session variables on all pages work correctly; so it is only this
session variable that is resetting.

Is it necessary to define a variable on one page and form the session
variable on the next pager?

Did you call session_start() at the beginning of the page?

Yes, session_start() is called on each page.

There are other session variables that are working.
