Unable to use session variables

I have a simple methodology to my page. Log in the user and if the credentails matched, the user is given a session variable “id” which is linked to the database to get info about the user. The thing was running fine on my “localhost” but it isn’t running here.
I run:

<?php if(isset($_SESSION["user"])){ echo "the session variable is here!"; //redirect to another user } But when I run the page and I visit to the "Secure" button and see in the cookies section, the session is there but the string isn't print. I tried changing it to: ?> <?php I tried accessing the .htaccess file and adding one line that says: "php_flag session.auto_start on" but it doesn't work. So, what should I do? NOTE: It is to mention that I have "session_start()" and I haven't made those beginner mistakes.

Try adding

php_flag output_buffering on

To your .htaccess
