$_SESSION Not working on CPANEL.

When we uploaded it to the web host using CPANEL the $_SESSION is not working. But in local using XAMPP it is working.

Hi @Ravi thanks for the comment we only call the session_start once. is there any stuff that make cpanel get the session? or is there a button to enable session in cpanel? — Christian Rey Baron, Feb 21 '17 at 07:32
The problem is your header is not being set. Please follow suggested link and your problem will be resolved. — Ravi Hirani, Feb 21 '17 at 07:37
at the top of your page add `ob_start();` then `session_start();` — Masivuye Cokile, Feb 21 '17 at 08:19
what does your `php_info()` does it show **Session Support enabled** ? @ChristianReyBaron — Masivuye Cokile, Feb 21 '17 at 09:05
@MasivuyeCokile Hi sir, php_info() not displaying :(. But in xampp all of that code is working. but in cpanel, so hopeless. — Christian Rey Baron, Feb 21 '17 at 09:17
at the top of any page just type what @RaviHirani have typed then save and refresh that page on the browser then scroll down to **session** — Masivuye Cokile, Feb 21 '17 at 09:20
I did sir. but the browser doesnt load at all after i code phpinfo(); but in local using xampp its working — Christian Rey Baron, Feb 21 '17 at 09:22

it's possibility that sessions either aren't enabled or aren't configured correctly in the php.ini file on your server. — Narayan, Feb 23 '17 at 09:40

Sessions are enabled by default within any PHP installations and hence do not need any special configuration to enable sessions.

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.

you should insert session_start() in the beginning of the script. Make confirm you call it on every page you need the access to session variables as well

Solved! the problem is, I put all my session on other php file so when include the php I put it under the html code.
I mean like this:

<html> <?php ?> </html>

so when I update it to this

<?php ?> <html>

all stuff are good. thanks for the comment guys <3

Place your session_start() at top of your page or header before the actual html
