Session management

[Herman Scheepers <hermans0101@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I am a PHP newbie from a Java/C/Oracle background. I
cannot seem to get session management with PHP
working.

<?php

  #echo 1;

  $old = ini_set('session.use_cookies', 0);

  session_start();
  $username = $_REQUEST["username"];
  session_register($username);

  echo "old=".$old;

  echo $username;

  include_once("db_security.inc");

  echo "PHPSESSID=".$PHPSESSID."\n";


  $Postfrom = $_REQUEST["username"];
  $Postpass = $_REQUEST["password"];


  if (__user_authenticate($Postfrom,$Postpass))
  {
    $display = '>>Welcome '.$Postfrom.' !';

    echo '<a href="ht_next.php">Next</a>';

    echo $display;
  } else {
    echo "Login Failed!";
  }

?>


In ht_next.php I have:

<?php


  session_start();
  
  echo $username;


?>


$username seems to be empty at this point. 

echo "PHPSESSID=".$PHPSESSID."\n";

in the first script does not produce any output
either. 


Any help would be appreciated.

Herman
