I have this php code,
<?php
session_start();
Print_r($_SESSION);
$_SESSION['value'] = 1;
Print_r($_SESSION);
?>
Why it Prints following, everytime when I refreshes the page..
Array
(
)
Array
(
[value] => 1
)
It should Print,
Array
(
[value] => 1
)
Array
(
[value] => 1
)
I am using lighttpd
as http
Server on Fedora 14.
I read that running chown -R root:lighttpd /var/lib/php/
fixed the problem for others that were having the same issue.

I would test to see if session_start()
returns true
(session started), for example:
$is_session_started = session_start();
If $is_session_started == false
, then you have 1/2 your answer right there. The other 1/2 will lie in figuring out why it is not starting. Per @Ryan above, check your session ini settings.
If you are using cookies for storing the Session ID, make sure that you call session_start()
before printing/echoing/returning any other values to the browser.
