Problem with login sessions... empty session variable (weird...)

[Clawsy]

Hi I'm making a login panel which sends data to the same page and I use a class made by me and called 'user' that stored user information and autentification. When I refresh the page I check if any session was created before (it was created at first successfull login containing the email and encoded password).
The problem is when I output the session variables, email contains nothing, password is ok. I don't know why. I rechecked the user object and my script, I cannot find what's going on. Please help.
Here is the code for login:

<?php
session_start();

include("connect.php");
include("user_class.php");

$user = new user();
/* check session variables if ok  - email contains nothing */
		echo $_SESSION["email"];
		echo " * ".$_SESSION["password"];

if(!isset($_SESSION["email"]) && !isset($_SESSION["password"])){//daca sesiunea nu exista
echo"1";

	if($user->auth($_POST["email"],sha1($_POST["password"]))) 
	{	
		echo $user->getAuthMsg()."<br>";
		$_SESSION["email"]=$user->getEmail();
		$_SESSION["password"]=$user->getPassword();
		/* check session variables if ok  - all OK. This means user object works fine, no? */
		echo $_SESSION["email"];
		echo " * ".$_SESSION["password"];
	}

	else 
	{
		echo $user->getAuthMsg();
		session_destroy();
	}
}
else if(isset($_SESSION["email"]) && isset($_SESSION["password"])){//daca sesiunea exista ne autentificam pentru acele date
echo"2";
/*************  I could never enter here ******************/
	if($user->auth($_SESSION["email"],$_SESSION["password"])) 
	{	echo"2da";
		echo $user->getAuthMsg()."<br>";
		$_SESSION["email"]=$user->getEmail();
		$_SESSION["password"]=$user->getPassword();
	}

	else 
	{echo"2nu";
		echo $user->getAuthMsg();
		session_destroy();
	}	
}
else
{
/*************  I always enter here cause $_SESSION["email"] is allways empty :( ******************/
}


?>



<?php if(!$user->isAuth){ ?>
<table border="1">
<form name="login_member" id="login_member" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" method="POST">
	<tr>
		<td>Email:</td><td><input type="text" name="email" id="email" /></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Password:</td><td><input type="password" name="password" id="password" /></td>
	</tr>
		<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Login"></td>
	</tr>
</form>
</table>

I FOUND IT!

function getEmail(){
		return $this->email=$mail;//incorrect. must be "return $this->email;"
	}

Sorry I am very tired, I couldn't see it for hours. Anyone can do a mistake like that when is very tired :). You just CAN'T see it. Thanks all for reading. Thread solved.
