Because it self calls the script name is sometimes ommited on the header line, it usualy still works. Don't know why this happens. I dont need ' $user_id = $_GET['user_id']; ' because this isn't use within the program. It's the SESSION variables that should be passed and used. The user_id is just there to let the user know what their user number is. (this system has been developed from an older but different system and is currently still in the testing stage) "Luis Moreira" <luis.moreira@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:40E94A1F.1030703@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > This is a very long thread, so sorry if I didn't read a bit, but there > is one thing I don't understand. > In your mail you say : > > >Calling the page for the first time works: > > http://160.221.21.129/timelog/index.php > > OK > > > > > Self-calling with the additional user_id > > parameter set results > > in the login screen being shown again! > > > > http://160.221.21.129/timelog/?user_id=99999 > > This is what I don't understand. > The thing is, the correct call should be > > http://160.221.21.129/timelog/index.php?user_id=99999 > > and inside you should have > > $user_id = $_GET['user_id']; > > Unless it is a typo on your mail ... > > > Luis > > > > Garry Grierson wrote: > > >Both set to: on > >"Luis Moreira" <luis.moreira@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message > >news:40E936F0.4090306@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > > > >>Garry Grierson wrote: > >> > >> > >> > >>>If I do this by passing the paramiters back into the script via the > >>> > >>> > >header > > > > > >>>line it works OK. > >>>When I try to use the SESSION variable it cant find the values, as I said > >>>this is working on another machine running identical op and browser > >>> > >>> > >software > > > > > >>>etc... > >>> > >>>Any ideas? > >>>"Garry Grierson" <garry.grierson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:... > >>> > >>> > >>> > >>> > >>>>The problem seems to be that the SESSION information isn't being found!? > >>>> > >>>>Any Ideas? > >>>> > >>>>"Trevor Gryffyn" <TGryffyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> > >>news:B97E3961173C4943BF7C722DFE31943DCF08CA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . > >> > >> > >. > > > > > >>> > >>> > >>>>. > >>>>I don't see any $_GET[' > >>>> > > >>>>'] statements anywhere.
