Why my session is not working?
Make sure you didn’t delete or empty the session. Make sure the key in your $_SESSION superglobal array is not overwritten anywhere. Make sure your file extension is . php (it happens!).
Why my session is not working in Cpanel?
You should make sure you have session_start(); as the first line in any page where you want to use sessions; it should be the very first line, before any whitespace (an empty line, for example). Hope it helps you.
Do I need session_start on every page?
It must be on every page you intend to use. The variables contained in the session—such as username and favorite color—are set with $_SESSION, a global variable. In this example, the session_start function is positioned after a non-printing comment but before any HTML.
How do you check session is set or not?
You can check whether a variable has been set in a user’s session using the function isset(), as you would a normal variable. Because the $_SESSION superglobal is only initialised once session_start() has been called, you need to call session_start() before using isset() on a session variable.
How can I see my session in Cpanel?

- Right click somewhere on the PHP page that you’re trying to get a session for.

- Click the Application Tab.
- Check for the PHP Session cookie in in the Cookie section.
- Reload the page and check for the cookie again. Have more questions?
Do I need session start?
You need to start session in every script where you need access to $_SESSION variable but instead of putting session_start(); in every single script you can create a file headers.
Where should we place session_start () function when we use session?
You want to put session_start(); at the top of your page before any other code. However, if you are using includes to make your life easier, it’s best to put it at the very top of a file that is included in all files.
How check session is empty?
If you want to check whether sessions are available, you probably want to use the session_id() function: session_id() returns the session id for the current session or the empty string (“”) if there is no current session (no current session id exists).
