in my local WAMP server, when I call session_start() the session-id is being set

  • 0

in my local WAMP server, when I call session_start() the session-id is being set in the cookie as follows and var_dump($_COOKIE) gives the following.

array
  'PHPSESSID' => string 'qg8nrlpdtgb391386lhghgv727' (length=26)

so when I call session_start() again, my previous session is resumed.

but when I deployed the same code to my web-server, the PHPSESSID is not being set in the cookie. So as a result, every time I call session_start(), a new session is getting created instead of resume the previous session.

Can anyone please tell me a possible cause of the problem. Do we have to explicitly set the PHPSESSID to the cookie?

Also, In my local(WAMP) I dont have https, but the web-server where I pushed the code is https. Is this a problem?

I am stuck with this for almost 3 days now.

Thanks in advance.

    I had called session_start() immediately after html < head > tag. This was the problem. When I moved the session_start() method before the html head tag, the problem was solved.

    Thanks everyone for your help.
