Session variables not working

[devadok]

Hi,

 

I'm developing an addon and inside the hooks.php, I have the following code:

 

add_hook('AdminAreaHeaderOutput', 1, 'bnw_todo_itens');
function bnw_todo_itens($vars) {
$check = true;

// if session var exists, then check if we need to check again or not
if (isset($_SESSION['todo_list_cache'])) {
	$last_checked = $_SESSION['todo_list_cache'];
	$now = time();

	// do not check within 1 hour
	if (($now - $last_checked) < (60 * 60)) {
		$check = false;
	}
}

$adminid = $vars['adminid'];
if ($check) {
	// check if there is any pending/new todo item
	$sql = "SELECT id, title, description, duedate, `status` ";
	$sql .= "FROM tbltodolist ";
	$sql .= "WHERE admin = " . $adminid . " ";
	$sql .= "AND `status` IN ('New', 'Pending') ";
	$sql .= "AND duedate <= '" . date('Y-m-d') . "' ";
	$sql .= "ORDER BY duedate ";
	$result = mysql_query($sql);

	while (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))) {
		// create html
	}

	// updates the last checked time
	$_SESSION['todo_list_cache'] = time();

	// returns the created html
	return $html;
}
}

 

When a refresh the page and try to read the session var that I have set ($_SESSION['todo_list_cache']), the variable doesn't exist. Whenever I try debugging the $_SESSION, all I see is:

 

[tkval] => Asd6a1sdfA3

[adminid] => 123

[adminpw] => 123123132123132123132123123

 

Does anyboy know what can be wrong?

 

Thanks

Hey guys,

 

nevermind. It seems like it was some PHP cache.

 

Thanks
