How do I get PHP Sessions to work with construct 2

Im currently using AJAX plugin to post to a server and then i start a session like this

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['user'] = 'cat';

?>

Then i go to a different layout in construct 2 and i post to a different php script on the same server like this

<?php

session_start();

echo $_SESSION['user'];

?>

I get nothing back. The session variable is empty . The variables are not saving from one script to another.

Is this not going to work?

Ive been toying with this for days

It should work, to PHP its all the same session.

things to keep in mind:

-Origin access, add: header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); to the top of your PHP file.

-Ajax.LastData should have the result of your PHP Ajax request

-Check developer console during preview: hit CTRL SHIFT J in Chrome, and check the network tab, it should show the direct results of your request.

hi,

i have the same problem

i have the header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');

but problem still there..

if i open that php files with browser then work fine but if i use ajax in c2 The session variable is empty

pugbreeder did you solve it ?

so the problem is with the preview but i dont know what is the problem !

I need help for this to
