When i try to get the firstname with $_SESSION it returns blank..
Here is the PHP side of my home.php:
<?php
include_once 'includes/db_connect.php';
include_once 'includes/functions.php';
sec_session_start();
?>
<a href="#" title=""><?php echo $_SESSION['firstname'];?>
I'm not sure but i think there is a problem with the sec_session_start() function:
function sec_session_start() {
$session_name = 'sec_session_id';
// The Below is set in a document which is included in the
// functions document: include_once 'psl-config.php' with
// define("SECURE", TRUE);
$secure = SECURE;
// This stops JavaScript being able to access the session id.
$httponly = true;
// Forces sessions to only use cookies.
if (ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1) === FALSE) {
header("Location: ../error.php?err=Could not initiate a safe session (ini_set)");
exit();
}
// Gets current cookies params.
$cookieParams = session_get_cookie_params();
session_set_cookie_params($cookieParams["lifetime"], $cookieParams["path"], $cookieParams["domain"], $secure, $httponly);
// Sets the session name to the one set above.
session_name($session_name);
session_start(); // Start the PHP session
session_regenerate_id(); // regenerated the session, delete the old one.
}
I can't figure out what the problem is. Can someone help me with this :)
*Error Reporting:
I have enabled error reporting and it gives me this error now
Notice: Undefined index: firstname in /----------/home.php on line 239
I have fixed this error*
Setting $_SESSION['firstname']
if (isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {
$user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT firstname FROM members WHERE id = ? LIMIT 1")) {
$stmt->bind_param('i', $user_id);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->store_result();
$stmt->bind_result($_SESSION['firstname']);
$stmt->fetch();
} else {
// Not logged in
return false;
}
The page is now white without any error reportings

Where are you setting$_SESSION['firstname']?
– ksealey
Nov 16 '18 at 22:02
You have to declare session start before anything. then you set the session variable. and then you can retreive it. you dont need a function that start a session. And we can not see where you set you session firstname var anywhere
– MadeInDreams
Nov 16 '18 at 22:05
try to add $_SESSION['firstname'] = 'MYNAME'; after the session_strat(); function and you should get something;
