PHP session losing data between pages

Question

I am trying to set up a login system for my website that requires someone to be logged in in order to post. I have set it up with sessions and it works great on my localhos

Answer 1

The only time I´ve had a similar problem, was when I was accidentally changing the domain while going to another page (from www.mydomain.com tomydomain.com and the other way around).

You can have your session persist between different sub-domains using session_set_cookie_params():

session_name('login_session');
session_set_cookie_params(0, '/', '.mydomain.com');
session_start();

Edit: Perhaps this can help you: A very interesting article: PHP Session Debugging

Answer 2

I found the problem - the save directory for the PHP sessions was a root apache directory, and I'm runnin nginx fastcgi. I just changed the root permissions for the folder and it works. Thanks a ton for all of your help.
