Question

I have learned so much from stackoverflow. I have run into a problem that is strange,
Here it goes.

I have coding that checks if a session has started and if not, I start the session. No problem there

Here is my code

If (session-id = "")
{Session_start();
/* setting session ids */
}

I have an include file that submits a form to the same script (script above)

But when returning to the page via post method, the session gets started again, as if the session stopped.

Edit

If (session_id == “”)

The mistake there was a typo.

The problem I originally had was that upon first initialization, I had set session arrays

/* If statement */
$_Session['test'] = ['1','2','3','4','5'];
/* end of if statement */

When user submits data to the same script, the session array will be null, giving an error. The way I solved it was to put session_start on the top of the script and no longer on the if statement. That seemed to solve the problem, thanks for all your input.

Answer 1

You need to start the session at the top of every page, just to keep the session. That will not clear the running session, so you can just remove the condition for it to start.
