  • 0

I’m trying to create a change password option on my site. I’m using session vars to keep track of the users username/password .. which I pass to an authcheck function on each page.

The problem I’m having is this. When I change the users password, no more pages will load because the password that’s stored in the session var is not the same as whats in the DB anymore.

How do I go about changing the session var to reflect the new pass? Currently I’m trying:

$_SESSION["SESSION_PASSWORD"] = $newPass;

Which I assumed would reassign what was in SESSION_PASSWORD to the new pass. Doesn’t seem to work though.

    How / Where in your code are you setting the session variable in the first place?

    Perhaps start_session() has not been called yet?
