I am working with wamp2.0 - PHP 5.3, apache 2.2.11 but my sessions are not storing data.
I have a page that accepts a parameter, which (simplified version) I wanna store in a session, so when I come to
http://www.example.com/home.php?sessid=db_session_id
The script looks like:
session_start();
$sessid = @$_GET['sessid'];
if ($sessid) {
$_SESSION['sessid'] = $sessid;
}
var_dump($_SESSION);
and outputs:
array(1) { [0]=> string(13) "db_session_id" }
which is fine, but then, when I go to link (without the sessid parameter) the $_SESSION array is empty. I've event tried to comment the $_SESSION['sessid'] = $sessid; line before going to the page without the parameter, but still it didin't work.
I've checked the session_id() output and the session id remains the same.

EDIT:
The sessions are deleted by an iframe. I don't know why, but when commented, the sessions work fine. Thing is, the iframe has to stay there (which of course is bad, but I can't do anything about it). Well...do you know about any workarounds to get the sessions working with an iframe?

It is an old question, but I came here with the same problem. As the question was not answered, here it comes what I've found.
I had a similar problem and in my case the problem was I was not calling session_start() in all the pages where the session was used. I thought I should call it only in the "login" page, but this is not true.
Besides, remember that session_start() must be called before the <html> tag.

You must call the command session_start(); in each page. It worked for me. You must also call this before any output (html, output, even whitespace) is sent to the user.
