medium📝 Debug Q14 of 15
PHP - Sessions and Cookies
Identify the error in this PHP code snippet:
<?php
$_SESSION['count'] = 1;
echo $_SESSION['count'];
?>
ACannot echo session variables
BIncorrect variable name $_SESSION
CSession variables must be integers only
DMissing session_start() before using $_SESSION
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check session initialization

    The code uses $_SESSION but never calls session_start() to begin the session.
  2. Step 2: Understand session usage rules

    Without calling session_start(), PHP does not know which session to use, causing errors or empty values.
  3. Final Answer:

    Missing session_start() before using $_SESSION -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Always call session_start() before $_SESSION [OK]
Quick Trick: Always start session before accessing $_SESSION [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using $_SESSION without session_start()
  • Assuming $_SESSION works like normal variables
  • Trying to echo $_SESSION without initialization
