I’m currently working on a personal project where I create a cool website (It was not cool). I tried asking AI for mostly all the stuff I need on PHP Project. I have been pretty good at HTML and CSS.
The issue is because the $_SESSION is not remembering anything! When I tried to use var_dump($_SESSION), it gave me array(0) { }. I asked AI so many times, I was starting to think the AI Control was gonna explode. Here is the code:
index.php:
<code><?php
session_start();
var_dump($_SESSION);
?>

<html lang="en">
<head>

<br>
<nav class="nav">

<a href="services.html">Services</a>
<?php
// Improved logic for logout link with actual value check
if (isset($_SESSION['name']) && isset($_SESSION['password']) && !empty($_SESSION['name']) && !empty($_SESSION['password'])) {
echo '<a href="/logout.php" class="login-link">Log Out</a>';
} else {
echo '
<a href="/form/signUp.php" class="login-link">Sign Up</a>
<a href="/form/logIn.php" class="login-link">Log In</a>
';
}
?>
</nav>
</header>
<br>
<main class="center">
<header>
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['name']) && !empty($_SESSION['name'])) {
echo "
<h1>Welcome, " . $_SESSION["name"] . "!</h1>
";
} else {
echo "
<h1>Welcome, Guest!</h1>
";
}
if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedin']) || !$_SESSION['loggedin']) {
// Redirect to login if not logged in
header('Location: /form/signUp.html');
exit();
}
?>
</header>
<br>
<main>
