session login only works once - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

I have a login form where action=login.php

login.php

Code:

.....
session_start();
$_SESSION['logat']=0;
.....
if ($db->num_rows())	
 {
    $_SESSION['logat']=1;
    echo("<script language='JavaScript'>");
    echo("window.location.href='prof_main.php'");
    echo("</script>");
 }
?>

checkit.php

Code:

<?php
    if ($_SESSION['logat']!=1)
   { 
	die ("Access denied!"); 
   }
?>

It seems to work but once logged in but if I go to another page on my site where I wish to store some data it does not work. Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.

Did you remember to session_start() on this page. Every page that uses $_SESSION must have a session_start() .
