Losing Log In

I'm not sure where to start looking for this or what code to put up for anyone to view.

I am loosing the log in, meaning after I log in, it takes me to the page that I am redirected to after a successful log in, however when I click on a link to another page that being logged in is required, the log in page pops up and requires I re-log in.

I just changed servers, so I am thinking the error is being caused by that.

Can someone point me where to look?

first thing is to test the servers session management settings, use the session test page from the following URL:
showpost.php?p=23826&postcount=2

This is the opening page
To Test you servers session management:
1) Click here to Set Session variables

The link above uses a URL variable to trigger setting a session variable

2) Click here to test session variables

This link does not contain the URL variable, so it will not set the session variable again, but the session variables value should not be changed.

Session Test = test
(When the page is first loaded, the session variable test will = NULL, when you click the first link, the session variable test will be set to test. Clicking the second link will only reload the page, the session variable test should still equal test, if it equals NULL, your server has a problem with session management.

Session ID = kpfuvge3ilmt22aeq66tcq4v56
(NOTE: if sessions are working correctly, the session ID should not change.)

Thank you. The admin page is the success log in page and the counties choose is the page that is requiring the re-log in

php:

That did not solve the problem. I should have noticed that before anyway.

can you add the following code to the login page after the body tag and to one of the problem pages after the body tag also:

<pre><?php var_dump($_SESSION); ?></pre>

this wil lwrite the session contents to the page.

also, what is the full url in the address bar when you get to the admin page, and what is the full URL in the address bar when you get directed back to the login page to re login? It important that I have the full URL including the domain

This is what I see with the code inserted

array(7) {
["user_name"]=>
NULL
["firm_name"]=>
NULL
["password"]=>
NULL
["firm_id"]=>
NULL
["state"]=>
NULL
["county_id"]=>
NULL
["test"]=>
string(4) "test"
}


This is the url when asked to log in again

law_firm_LogIn.php?accesscheck=%2Fadmin.php%3F

This is the url for the admin page

admin.php?&accesscheck=%2Fadmin.php%3F
