I have two test files called index.php and index2.php.

Index.php:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['sess_var'] = "hello world";

?>

<a href="index2.php">click</a>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index2.php:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start();

echo $_SESSION['sess_var'];
?>

Index2.php does not display anything?!?! Any ideas??

I look at the session cookie and it has been set with the following
inside it:

sess_var|s:11:"hello world";

When I placed the line:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

in index2.php I got the following error:

Notice: Undefined index: sess_var in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\index2.php on line 5

line 5 is:

echo $_SESSION['sess_var'];
