I've got a script that sets some session values before redirecting to / using header().

I've read many posts about the $_SESSION variable being destroyed / lost after header(), even after I implemented this:

// set session here

session_regenerate_id(true);
session_write_close();
header("Location: /");

session_start() is set in the correct places, does anyone know of anything that I might be missing?

On the index.php page I have this:

session_start();
print_r($_SESSION);

// outputs nothing :'(

The code is pretty complex so will not post it all, just snippets.
