I am having this weird issue where when I move away from the page on which I created the session, the session values are lost, this is true for both manual redirecting and redirecting via php header, the code i am using for testing is pretty simple
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
echo $_SESSION['hi']; // to view the value which was set last time
$_SESSION['hi'] = "yooo";
session_write_close();
The Relevant part of my php.ini is as follows
Session Support enabled
Registered save handlers files user memcache
Registered serializer handlers php php_binary wddx
