PHP Session not Saving

Question

I have this written at the very first line on every page of my website.

include(\"restd.php\");

and restd.php contains the following lines

Answer 1

Do you actually set $_SESSION['id'] on a page...

What you are trying to do here is:

1. Start a session and load the $_SESSION from the session handler
2. Check if $_SESSION contains key 'id'
3. Redirect to index.php if $_SESSION['id'] is not set

Do you actually do this in index.php?

session_start();
$_SESSION['id'] = something;

Answer 2

Check maybe your session path does not exist so you can save PHP session path using:

ini_set(' session.save_path','SOME WRITABLE PATH');

Answer 3

I know this is an old thread, but the following helped me with the same problem after hours of despair. Found on: http://php.net/manual/de/function.session-save-path.php

I made a folder next to the public html folder and placed these lines at the very first point in index.php

Location of session folder:

/domains/account/session

location of index.php

/domains/account/public_html/index.php

What I placed in index.php at line 0:

<?php 
ini_set('session.save_path',realpath(dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) . '/../session'));
session_start();
?>

Hopefully this will save you time.
