Hi, using slim localhost all works fine. On production, inside post the $\_SESSION variable only shows empty, i just don’t get it what i am doing wrong.  
What i did and haven’t worked:

- session.auto\_start = 1 on php.ini
- session\_start() inside route
- added session middleware

> $app-\>add(function ($request, $response, $next) {  
> session\_start();  
> return $next($request, $response);  
> });

It works here:

> $app-\>get(‘/session/’, AcessoController::class . ‘:session’);

But not here:

> $app-\>post(‘/anuncioindex/’, AnuncioController::class . ‘:anuncioindex’);

What does `session_start();` returns on your production system? true or false?  
What is the return value of `session_status()`?

session\_start returns true, session\_status returns 2
