Opera Mini & PHP Sessions - php

Question

I have tried passing sensitive information from 1 page to the next using Cookies and PHP Sessions but still no luck. This works fine in all browsers I have tested except Opera Mini. I also found this: http://caniuse.com/#search=cookie
This is how I have it currently setup.
page1.php:
<?php
session_start();
$time = time();
$key = '';
$hash = md5($key . $time);
$_SESSION['inno'] = '';
header("Location: page2.php". $hash);
exit;
?>
page2.php:
<?php
session_start();
if (isset( $_SESSION['inno'])) {
include("../global/header.php");
include("../global/content.php");
}
session_destroy();
?>
The content of the page is the sensitive information, So that is why it goes from page1.php to page2.php.
Is there some kind of workaround for this if passing information this way isn't supported in Opera Mini?

Use classes for reusable resources, they are less messy.
Looks like you forgot to assign data, so
Here is the promising structure:
index.php
<?php
include_once 'session.php';
$my_session = new session_helper;
//SET YOUR SESSION VARIABLES
if($my_session->get_session_data('username') == null){
$sessionData = array(
'username'=>'me',
'logged'=>true,
'password'=>md5('password')
);
$my_session->set_session_data($sessionData);
}
?>
View my session
view_session.php
<?php
include_once 'session.php';
$my_session = new session_helper;
?>
<!--GET YOUR SESSION VARIABLES-->
<p>Username: <?php echo $my_session->get_session_data('username'); ?></p>
<p>Logged: <?php echo $my_session->get_session_data('logged'); ?></p>
<p>Password: <?php echo $my_session->get_session_data('password'); ?></p>
<p> </p>
<?php $my_session->debug_session(); ?>
session.php to get rid of headaches
<?php
//MANAGE YOUR SESSION
class session_helper
{
//Start session when class instance created
function __construct()
{
session_start();
}
//Session data set using an array to easily add multiple values e.g. on login page
function set_session_data($sessionData)
{
forEach($sessionData as $key => $value){//Go through each key
$_SESSION[$key] = $value;//And assign it to session
}
}
function get_session_data($session_data_key)
{
return $_SESSION[$session_data_key];//Call this to get your values
}
function debug_session()
{
print_r($_SESSION); //Check what session contains if something is wrong
}
function close_session()
{
session_destroy(); //Good to use for fresh start/logout.
}
}
?>
session.php manages sessions. Accessing directly will output an empty page.
index.php uses a condition to set the variables. You don't need to rework data everytime when you have it.
view_session.php has all the info regarding the session.
Best practice of retrieving info is storing secure/encrypted primary keys of the database, then use them to retrieve everything else from the database, e.g. by user ID get the e-mail, profile creation time, name, surname etc.
