PHP session variable will not work properly
<p>I have a if/elseif statement that I am passing a GET variable into. Once inside the corrent block, I can echo something to make sure that I am in the right place. Once there, I have tried several times to set a session variable but it isn't working properly. I'm sure that I'm not doing something right.</p>

<pre><code>if(isset($_GET['mygetvar'])){
  $_SESSION['flag'] = 'on';
}else{
  $_SESSION['flag'] = 'off';
}
</code></pre>

<p>When I check the link to take me to the first block, I'm expecting to see the flag on but I get nothing at all. I have already started the session at the very top of the page. All I want to do is use this session as a flag. If its on, do something else don't. I basically want to use this as a switch.</p>

<p>EDIT:
Here is the actual code. The avove was an example. If you guys should find a syntax error in this code, then there really is an error. I dont think so because I can echo what's inside the code blocks just fine.</p>

<pre><code>if(isset($_GET['out']))
{
    $_SESSION['rim'] = 'on';
    echo 'out';
}
else
{
    $_SESSION['rim'] = 'off';
    echo 'in';
}
</code></pre>

<p><hr /></p>

<p>Ok, here is what is going on.... When I do print_r($_SESSION); <strong>inside</strong> the if/else blocks, I can see the correct results echo. Is this normal?</p>
