Hi guys,I got this code which is working fine in one part of the page on the other part it doesn't recognize me!in that page it can look like that:page1.php

function adminRestriction() {	global $a_maxsize, $a_master;	$admin_sql = "SELECT * FROM administration";	$admin_result = mysql_query($admin_sql)		or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());	$row = mysql_fetch_array($admin_result);	$a_maxsize =  $row['admin_maxupload'];	$a_master = $row['admin_master'];}// this is where I allow the $a_masterinclude "page2.php";

page2.php

// only html code except the includeinclude "page3.php";

page3.php

// only html code except this <?phpadminRestriction();if ($_SESSION['user_logged'] == $a_master) {	echo $admin_master;} else {	echo "<td>" . $a_master . "<td>";}// $a_master doesn't work?>

And the page1.php get include in the mainpage.php everything called from the adminReatriction function in the mainpage.php work fine except in the page3.php it can't find it!I know that I include a lot of page, can it be the problem?Thank you for your helpMat

If I am understanding you correctly, add session_start() at the beginning.

I just realized something, I can't call a variable if the variable isn't define before being include so I change the way the files where include and it work perfectly now.Now mainpage.php include page2.php and page2.php include page1.php (page2.php and page3.php are now in the same page: page2.php)I'm shearing my discovery :)edited:

the sesion_start() is there I just didn't show it in there.I find the solution thank you
