PHP Session Variables Not Working [duplicate]

Question

I need help with PHP session variables. I am registering them, and then they print fine from the same page, but other pages are not getting them correctly.

Here is the page that is setting them

if($logIn){
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['name'] = $username;
    $_SESSION['pass'] = $check[1];
    $_SESSION['email'] = $email;
    $_SESSION['addr'] = $check[3];
    echo $_SESSION['name']." is ";
    echo "logged in";
} else {
    echo "nogo";
}
fclose($fp);

and then the page linked to has

<body>
<?php include '../header.php'; ?>
<?php echo $_SESSION['name']."lets go"; ?>

And it will not print anything...can't figure this out.

Thanks in advance!

Are they 2 separate files? If they are, in the second file you have to make sure to call session_start() again — Mario Segura

session_start(); start must got at the top of every page before any output. Make sure on the second page you have that at the top of the page or else you will get no output from session variables.
