Hi there,

i have been working with ASP/JSP for quite sometime. now getting into PHP. i'm facing too many problems related to sessions.

I have a page in which after validating username and password i'm placing the username in session and redirecting to a page. in the next page session expires unconditionally. i am starting sessions explicitly and using ob_start() for optimized redirects...

where as if i write some text to the response stream and then try to access the same page... session works very fine. Is there any solution to over come this? i'm placing the code snippets below to analyze.

	$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH);

	$_SESSION["uid"] = $row[0];
	$_SESSION["uname"] = $row[1];

       header("Location: bohome.php");

      session fails in bohome.php (note i am starting session even in bohome.php).

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

It works just fine if you do it correctly.
