Hi all,

Please help me out here.

This is what I have done:

on Page A:
<a href="<?php echo 'pageB.php?item=docs&sSID='.session_id();
?>">Docs</a>

on PageB:
<?php
if ($sSID) {
echo $_SESSION['username']; // THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO READ HERE
switch($_REQUEST['item']) {
case "docs": echo "doc files"; break;
case "reqdocs": echo "other files"; break;
case "misc": echo "miscellaneous files"; break;
default: echo "Invalid query"; break;
}
}
?>

As you can see on PageB, I tried to read the value of
$_SESSION['username'] but it gives nothing. The session file is
correctly created in my /tmp folder with the username field containing
valid data.

Am I missing something?

Thanks
Ben
