but i'm getting only my session value is :

my session value is not setting..

i checked the session.save_path in cPanel of the server it says /tmp.

Solution

  • Maybe your script dies because session_start fails with "headers already sent" ? This could happen, for example, if your test machine and production server don't encode new lines the same way...

    The errors are probably not displayed on your production server, try something like that :

    ini_set('display_errors', 1);
session_start();

    and see if you get something useful.
