Session Array is empty

[Gilead]

I am building a menu based on a session variable. If it's admin, then echo out the admin full menu. If superuser, echo out the super user menu which has less stuff in it.

I have tried this on my machine(XP) and on my laptop (ubuntu linux) and my father's machine(mint linux). When it is run on a windows 7 machine, the session array is blank and the menu is not displayed. How is that possible?
I don't get it!

Can anyone shed some light on this so it can work for EVERYONE?
Thanks!

Have you tried different browsers on the Win7 machine?

The session is probably dependent on a cookie being set in the browser, I can only guess that the cookie is being blocked on that machine? As otherwise the client should not affect the server-side session.

It's been tried on two win7 laptops. I will ask about cookies.

>>The session is probably dependent on a cookie being set in the browser.

Ensure that ALL browsers have permissions/abilities to set cookies/sessions - as essentially they are both the same thing.

Also, put some code in to varify that cookies/sessions have been set as expected, or just pop a friendly message on stating that your site requires cookies/sessions turned on in order to function.

Hope that makes sense.
