I'm trying to start a session in .htaccess using php_value session.auto_start 1 to avoid duplication of lines in php codes.

But this is not working, is it always off?

Note: In this case the author is experimenting with the free version of hostinger, which is probably limited and does not have full support (I can not say, it's a guess) and this seems to be the reason for the problem

I think the command is php_flag and not php_value , example:

php_flag session.auto_start 1

To test create an empty file named teste.php in the same folder that is .htaccess with this content:

<?php
var_dump(session_id(), $_SESSION);

It should return something like:

string(26) "jgg7lol8o97733q3vgs46tm7p5" array(0) { }

This means it's working.

Workaround

If this does not work you can do the following, create a file named global.php , add the following content in it:

<?php
if (session_id() === '') {
    session_start();
}

And include this file in all required files, for example the file index.php

<?php
require_once 'global.php';
?><!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
Resto do html...
