There are similar questions related to the topic but none of them have solved my problem. Its kind of weird but my $_SESSION is working on the same page but not on any other page. If I put isset($_POST['submit') the condition doesn't satisfy and without it the $_SESSION remains null.
This is my code.
This is the login page.
<!-- Login.php -->
<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="profile.php">
<fieldset>
<legend>
Login
</legend>
<label> User ID :</label> <input type="text" placeholder="Username" name="user"><br>
<label> Password :</label> <input type="password" placeholder="Password" name="password">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login">
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$_SESSION['USER']= $_POST['user'];
$_SESSION['PASS']=$_POST['password'];
}
?>
This is where I want my session variable to appear.
<!-- profile.php -->
<?php
session_start();
echo "Session user is ".$_SESSION['USER']."<br>";
unset($_SESSION['USER']);
unset($_SESSION['PASS']);
session_unset();
session_destroy();
?>
This is what I have tried :
Changing form method to GET.
Using $_REQUEST and $_GET.
Using $_SESSION on the same page. It works on the same page.
Checking session id. The session on the other pages are present but values are either null or empty.
Running the code without isset(). In that case all the session variables remain NULL.
$_POST['submit'] and the rest of the post parameters are not available in Login.php
They are available only in profile.php because your form action points to it.
You may move the following code after the session_start() in profile.php.
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$_SESSION['USER']= $_POST['user'];
$_SESSION['PASS']=$_POST['password'];
}
Keep in mind that you unset the session values in the end of profile.php

I have some trouble with PHP Sessions.
I was searching too much for answers, most had problems at sesson_start() function, that is not the case here I guess.
Index.php, Loginback.php, UserInfo.php all start with:
<?php session_start(); ?>
There is index.php where I have login form with action loginback.php:
<form action="loginback.php" method="POST" id="LoginForm">
<input type="text" name="UserName" placeholder="Username" class="form-control"/>
<input type="password" name="Password" placeholder="Password" class="form-control"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" id="LoginButton" class="btn btn-info, OASButton" />
</form>
at LoginBack.php is validation for user input, if everything is OK I say:
$_SESSION["user"] = "Temo"; //string is for testingpurposes
header("location: http://website.com/mine/index.php");
after redirecting at index.php If session is set I include "statistics.php" and it works just fine, if session is not set I incldue "logreg.php"- also works fine, but when I go to userinfo.php and check for session isset it always says no:
<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['user'])==true){
echo "Logged In!";
} else {
echo "Not Logged in";} ?>
So bottom line, session is recognized at index.php but not recognized at userid.php. Any help?
//sorry for my english.
'K , I have no idea what happened, I have not touched those files but now I am logged in but can't log out, here is logoutback.php where it should happen:
<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
session_unset();
session_destroy();
header("location: http://website.om/mine/index.php"); ?>
I've found an answer,
for going to userinfo.php I had:
<a href="http://www.website.com/mine/userinfo.php">
and that was the problem,
without www it works fine.
but also what was strange: I created folder SESSION just with session stuff and when I was starting session from there and redirecting through the same url, it was working.
So anyways I't is finally over :)
I've created a working session (with help from here I might add) and I've managed to get it to store a variable across multiple files without any problems.
When $username isn't filled, there's a prompt for the user to submit their username and upon submitting $username is assigned the value of the user's name and the form is replaced with text, no longer prompting the user to enter a username, in theory.
Here's the code I have right now:
<?php
session_start();
?>
<header>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/main.css">
<title>webshop</title>
</header>
<div id="LogIn">
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['username'])){
echo 'Current session username: '.$_SESSION['username'];
echo '<br />Destroy current session';
} else {
?>
<form class="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" id="form1">
<fieldset>
<ul>
<p>Please enter your username to continue to the webshop.</p>
<label for="name">User Name:</label><span><input type="text" name="username" placeholder="User Name"
class="required" role="input"
aria-required="true"/></span>
<input class="submit transparentButton" value="Next" type="submit" name="Submit"/>
</ul>
<br/>
</fieldset>
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
}
}
?>
</div>
cart<br />
index
The problem I'm having is that once the user has entered their username into the form and clicks "next", the page reloads and the form is still there. If you then refresh that page, it replaces the form with the text and the session variable $username parsed as plain text with a link to logout (session_destroy()).
My question is why do I have to refresh the page for the session variable to be displayed properly? Is it something to do with the if statement?
Thanks in advance.
You simply have a logic / ordering problem.
Move this piece of code that is currently below your form:
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
}
to the top of your file, just below the session_start(), and it will behave as you intend.
The way your code is written now, the session variable is not set until AFTER the form displays. You want the session variable to be set BEFORE the form displays (if in fact the $_POST username is set).
I am trying to display session information like username, as user login through login page, the session has to capture user entered username and should display in page. Below i have tried php script, but its not echoing the username, Kindly check in the script for errors, thanks in advance.
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['test']= $_POST['myusername'];
$name= $_SESSION['test'];
echo $name;
?>
<form action="login.php" method="post">
<p>Username</p>
<input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername" required>
<p>Password</p>
<input name="mypassword" type="password" id="mypassword"required></br>
<button><img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/webiconset/application/32/Register-icon.png" /></button>
</form>
login.php
Output i am getting is , simply its going to next page without displaying user name.
You can't access session data until after you call session_start(). So your first if statement is unnecessary and problematic as you can't check if a session variable exists until after you start your session. Also, make sure session_start() is called at the top of every page you wish to use sessions.
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['test']= $_POST['myusername'];
You must varify first that is session started or not. you can check it by using this code for Version PHP >= 5.4.0:-
if (session_status() !== PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE) {session_start();}
or
if (session_status() == PHP_SESSION_NONE) {
session_start();
}
or by this code for Version PHP < 5.4.0:-
if (session_id() === "") { session_start(); }
Then you can see all session stored values just by printing them as array.
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_SESSION);
then you can assign to session your post varible value like this.
$_SESSION['test']= $_POST['myusername'];
echo $_SESSION['test'];
You are setting session before post. Please use below code.
login.php
<?php
if(isset($_POST['myusername']))
{
// your code
session_start();
$_SESSION['test']= $_POST['myusername'];
}
?>
<form action="login.php" method="post">
<p>Username</p>
<input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername" required>
<p>Password</p>
<input name="mypassword" type="password" id="mypassword"required></br>
<button><img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/webiconset/application/32/Register-icon.png" /></button>
</form>
newpage.php
<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['test'];
?>
I'm developing a simple member management system with php, and I've met a problem:
The user logs in and it is redirected to a main page and the user ID is saved in the session; there are some links to other pages in the main page, after the user clicks and is trying to go back to main by pressing browser "Back" button, sometimes the user ID in the session is lost.
I've checked the session save path, a new session file is created when I click "Back" button, so I assume the session_start() creates a new session for it; but I still don't know why, it's a random case...
Is there any way to solve it?
main.php:
<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
$echo_string = '
<body>
a
b
</body>';
if (!empty($_SESSION['user']))
echo $echo_string;
else
header("Location: login.php");
?>
login.php:
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST['userLogin'])) {
$_SESSION['user'] = $_POST['userLogin'];
// check userLogin in db
...
}
header("Location: main.php");
?>
<form novalidate="" method="post" action="login.php">
<label class="hidden-label" for="Username">Username</label>
<input id="Username" name="userLogin" type="text" placeholder="Username" value="" spellcheck="false" class="">
<label class="hidden-label" for="Passwd">Password</label>
<input id="Passwd" name="userPassword" type="password" placeholder="Password" class="">
<input id="signIn" name="signIn" class="rc-button rc-button-submit" type="submit" value="Log in">
</form>
a.php:
<?php session_start(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>...</head>
<?php
$echo_string = '...'; // a html format string
if (!empty($_SESSION['user']))
echo $echo_string;
else
header("Location: login.php");
?>
</html>
b.php is almost same as a.php
Thanks.

session_start()-docs:
"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 you see, that when a session exists it doesnt create a new, that means when you set something like $_SESSION['logged_in'] = true; you should check before if $_SESSION is already filled with your infos
I'm using sessions to save what ever the user types in the form and what ever they do type will be displayed on the other pages.
It was working perfectly fine but after all the server uploads and such my code has completely done one on me and i'm lost.
Can somebody see if they can spot a mistake? I need fresh eyes.
HTML.
<div id="form"><!--Form Start-->
<form action="home.php" method="post">
<p>Enter Name <input type="text" id="full_name" name="fullName" class="name_input"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
</div><!--Form end-->
PHP.
<?php
session_start(); // declaring the variable
if(isset($_POST['fullName'])){ //setting the variable
if(empty($_POST['fullName'])){ //if empty dont to nothing but my wep page will reload
}else{ //if they have do this
$_SESSION['fullName'] = $_POST['fullName']; //get the session for the name (From the from)
header("Location: home.php"); //then will direct the user to the home page (will also display name on each page)
}}
?>
Session on other pages
<div id="echo"> <!-- div ECHO start -->
<?php
echo $_SESSION['fullName']
?>
</div> <!--div ECHO end -->
$_SESSION['fullName'] = $_POST['fullName'];
session_register(fullName);
replace with this code try it
You'll need to add session_start() on whatever page you are redirecting to that is supposed to display the data.
Also, (I'm assuming you realize) what you posted doesn't have anything that would output the data, like:
<input type="text" name="fullName" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['fullName']; ?>"/>
You need to start session on other page as well and stop the script from setting that session. After header location you need to use exit here.
<?php session_start();?>
<div id="echo"> <!-- div ECHO start -->
<?php
echo $_SESSION['fullName'];
?>
you need use exit after header location :-
header('location: home.php');
exit;
Just change the div id form to other because it has a default and remove the empty function because you add isset functon.
Use this.
<div id="myform"><!--Form Start-->
<form action="home.php" method="post">
<p>Enter Name <input type="text" id="full_name" name="fullName" class="name_input"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
</div><!--Form end-->
PHP.
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['fullName']))
{
$_SESSION['fullName'] = $_POST['fullName']; //get the session for the name (From the from)
header("Location: home.php");
exit();
}
?>
Session on other pages.
<div id="echo"> <!-- div ECHO start -->
<?php
session_start();
print_r($_SESSION);
echo $_SESSION['fullName'];
?>
</div> <!--div ECHO end -->
May be it helpful to you.If any problem then let me know.
You are "posting" the values to home.php, doing that you can't set $_SESSION['fullName'] = $_POST['fullName'] in the origin.
Change
<form action="home.php" method="post">
to
<form action="name_of_the_first_script.php" method="post">
$_POST['fullName'] does not exist before the redirect.
Here is how everything should look like (lest call the page index.php):
<div id="form"><!--Form Start-->
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<p>Enter Name <input type="text" id="full_name" name="fullName" class="name_input"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
</div><!--Form end-->
now after you hit submit the index.php will be reactioned and at this time with the $_POST request meaning that that the condition
if(isset($_POST['fullName'])){
will be true and the PHP code can be executed, setting the $_SESSION variable and redirecting you to home.php where you ca now read the $_SESSION previously set in index.php
Hope this can me more clear now! :)
