add to cart button not working

My site works fine on my local server but when it's uploaded to my server the 'add to cart' buttons don't add anything to my shopping cart. They redirect OK but the shopping cart is empty.

any ideas please.

Thanks a lot.

One thins I would suspect is a session management problem on the server.

Add the following to your add to cart page and the cart page just after the <body> tag:

php:

<?php 
if(!session_id()) session_start();
echo "Session ID = ".session_id(); 
?>

the session ID should stay the same on both pages. If it changes, you will need to contact the host to have them look into the session management settings on the php server.

If you continue to have problems, send a link to your add to cart page soI can investigate further..

That code wasn't intended to fix any problems, just check to see if session management where working correctly be displaying the session ID on the page, if the session ID is not the same when you visit each page, the session contents wont be kept.

When I visit you page, I am not able to reproduce a problem, I add an item to the page and the cart page displays the item I just added.
