I really need your help. My php session is not working.

This is my login code.

<?php  
session_start();
include_once('dbcon/connection.php');
if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
    

  if(isset($_POST["login"]))  
      {  
           if(empty($_POST["email"]) || empty($_POST["password"]))  
           {  
                $error = '<label>All fields are required</label>';  
           }  
           else  
           {

              $stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM user_acc WHERE username=:uname AND password =:pword LIMIT 1");
              $stmt->execute(array(':uname'=>$_POST["email"],':pword'=>$_POST["password"]));
              $userRow = $stmt->fetch(); 
              if($userRow > 0)
              {
                 
                        $_SESSION['username'] = $userRow["user_id_session"]; 
                        header('location:dashboard.php');

              }else{
                 $error = '<label>Username or Password is incorrect</label>';  
              }
           }  
      }  
?>

This is my dashboad code.

session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
  header("Location: index.php");
}

Not working, it redirects to login page. What is the error and what should i do so that it is working?

PS: it is already working, the SESSION. But only today it is not working. I don't know why. I am not good in php. Sorry for my English.

did you start session in your login page? – NID Aug 01 '17 at 09:18
Check if session is started with var_dump($_SESSION); – Roy Bogado Aug 01 '17 at 09:19

**Never store passwords in clear text!**. Only store password hashes! Use PHP's [`password_hash()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php) and [`password_verify()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-verify.php) . If you're running a PHP version lower than 5.5 (which I _really_ hope you aren't), you can use the [password_compat library](https://github.com/ircmaxell/password_compat) to get the same functionallity. – M.

this problem is occur on server or on local?? – chirag satapara Aug 01 '17 at 09:21
you need to start the session on this page as well and why are you storing the password as plain text? – Masivuye Cokile Aug 01 '17 at 09:22
