Good Understanding on Sessions and how they work

[jkewlo]

hey everyone session are whopping my arse. i know that i have to

 

start and then assign a session

 

session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = @$_GET['username'];

 

but when i try to call my session say for

 

Welcome: <? echo "". $_SESSION['username']; . "" ?> it does not show anything at all

 

so i need a good site i mean that really gets into sessions and how it work. any good links?

You need session_start() at the top of every page that uses a session, not just pages that set session variables.

 

http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/sessions-and-cookies-adding-state-to-a-stateless-protocol is a good session tutorial.
