Turns out my php.ini file wasn't configured properly. With fatcow (my host) you have to change the .ini file to specify the directory where you are saving session date and include session.save_path=("directory"); prior to session_start();.
You guys were absolutely right. This has been a great learning experience.
I am having trouble with sessions.
On my first page I have declared session variables properly I know because I can print them with in the php file that I declared them in. On the page which the user is forwarded to with my header I try to do the following but nothing prints. Its as if the session_start(); does nothing. I tried Print_R(); and it just prints Array ( ). Here is my code from the page specified in the header- it is a .phtml file.
//HTML code up here
<?
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['dentist_first_name'];
Print_r ($_SESSION);
?>
//HTML code down here
Is there anything I have to do on the landing page to make sure that the session is continued? I used session_start(); on the original page.
Really confused that my variables aren't getting picked up.
