Hi everyone,
I’m running into a strange issue with PHP sessions in my project. I have a login system that works fine on normal page loads, but when I make an AJAX request (using fetch), the session data seems to disappear or reset.
For example, after logging in, $_SESSION['user_id'] is correctly set. However, when I call a PHP script via AJAX, $_SESSION is empty, even though session_start() is included at the top of every file.
I’ve already checked:
Could this be related to headers, CORS, or how fetch handles cookies? Do I need to explicitly include credentials in the request?
Any help or explanation would be really appreciated!

I’ve already checked:
- Session is started on every request
- Cookies are enabled in the browser
- Same domain and no redirects
Could this be related to headers, CORS, or how fetch handles cookies? Do I need to explicitly include credentials in the request?
Any help or explanation would be really appreciated!
