What you have done is right in 1.php
,
however, 2.php
must start the session before using it.
2.php
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['name'])) {
echo $_SESSION['name'];
}
else{
echo "no session found!!";
}
?>
Question
I created two files 1.php 2.php which are in the same folder(i am using xampp). In 1.php used session_start() and also used $_session['name']=abc. Then i opened 2.php to check whether session was created or not
2.php:
<?php
if(isset($_session['name'])){
echo $_session['name'];
}
else{
echo "no session found!!";
}
?>
and it keeps on saying "no session found!!"
Plz help ...
I searched a few sites n they say that by default d session is for whole folder containing d script and session_set_cookie_params($lifetime,'/') (where $lifetime=60*60) is also nt helping. On d other hand if at d end of1.php i use require("2.php") then abc is displayed.

OTHER TIPS
You're missing session_start()
at the top of your 2.php
file which is needed to access $_SESSION
variables.
<?php
session_start(); // missing
if(isset($_SESSION['name']))
{
echo $_SESSION['name'];
}
else
{
echo "no session found!!";
}
?>
You need to call session_start();
again at the top of every page where you want to access $_SESSION
variables, not only on the page where you want to initiate the session.
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['name'])){
echo $_SESSION['name'];
}else{
echo "no session found!!";
}
?>
