I set and give value to a session variable in one module, but when I go to another module, it is empty.
From the caller module (CaptchaIn.htm), I access a module (CaptchaGen.php) which sets a session variable (captcha). But when I go to another module (CaptchaProc.php) to work with that session variable, it is empty.
Any help is highly appreciated.
