Sessions Help

[hansman]

Hello, I am brand new to this sessions thing. I want to have a session so i can carry the database table name across severl pages to run a sql query. I have my pull donw menu that will select what database to select with the variable is "id".

 

On the first page after the for i have this

 

<?php
session_start(); // start up your PHP session! 
$_SESSION['id'] = $_POST['id'];
?>

 

is this correct? and how will i use the session on other pages?

That is correct, and on your other pages, you do the same.

 

<?php
session_start(); // start up your PHP session! 
echo $_SESSION['id'];
?>

so can i use that in a SQL Query like this?

 

 

 

SELECT * FROM $_SESSION['id']
