236962 2004-05-16 09:30:00 hello all , I have a problem with session variables . The code attached is for the login screen which posts back to it self to query the database and perform the login sequence. I have commented the code to explain what's going on . the problem is I don't seem to be able to start the session and make the variable accessible on other pages. can you please help me with this problem

<?

//session_start();
header("Chache-control : private");
if (session_is_registered("staff_id")) //if 1
{
echo $_SESSION["staff_id"];
header("Location: ../mainindex.php"); // redirect logedin user
}
else // else 1
{
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'])) // if 2
{
include('connect.php');
$u_name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['u_name']; //retrives posted user name and password
$p_word = $HTTP_POST_VARS['p_word'];

$query = "select * from staff"; // query
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);

for ($i=0; $i<$num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$staff_id = ($row['staff_id']);
$staff_name=($row['staff_name']);
$staff_password=($row['staff_password']);

if ($u_name == $staff_name) // testing the input
{
if ($p_word == $staff_password)
{
session_start(); //start of session
session_register($staff_id); // session registeration
$_SESSION["staff_id"] = $staff_id;
Header('Location: ../php_scripts/mainindex.php'); // redirection of successfull login
exit();
}
}
if (($i+1) == $num_results) // tests to see if at end of db
{
Header('Location: sec2.php'); // redirects unsuccesfull login.
exit();
}
}
}
else // else 2
{
?>
