isset doesn't work...

I try to check if a session variable is set. If it is not set it is given a
0 for default and forces the user to go to a login screen. Correct login
results in the session variable to go to 1 and let the user see the rest of
the page. Unfortunatly $_SESSION['ingelogd'] is never set and thus always
set to 1. I can't see what is wrong with the code.

if(!isset($_SESSION['ingelogd']))
$_SESSION['ingelogd'] = 0;

if ($_SESSION['ingelogd'] == 0)
{
$_gebruiker = getPost('gebruiker');
$_paswoord = getPost('paswoord');

if ($_gebruiker == 'ward' && $_paswoord == 'face' )
{
$_SESSION['ingelogd'] = 1;
header('Location: thispage.php');
}
?>
<form action="beheer.php" method="post">
gebruiker: <input name="gebruiker"><br>
paswoord: <input name="paswoord"><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit >>">
</form> <?
printf('SESSION: '.$_SESSION['ingelogd']) ;
}
else
{
// rest of page
}

This looks like it should work ...


Did you put

session_start();

at (or near) the top of *all* your scripts that need the session
variable?

You may want to turn on error_reporting too. Insert

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

right before the session_start() line



Does the $_SESSION[] work at all?
Do you have your php.ini correctly configured?


Try this, and keep reloading (refreshing) the page

<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) $_SESSION['count'] = 0;
++$_SESSION['count'];

echo 'count = ', $_SESSION['count'], '<br><br><br>';
echo 'Reload (Refresh) this page!';
?>

The session_start() did the job. Thanks
