[SOLVED] sessions

[ngreenwood6]

I am in need of some help with sessions. I have 3 files:

 

index.php (the form):

<table border="1">
<form name="session" method="post" action="session.php">
<tr>
<td>Username
<td>:
<td><input name="username" type="text">
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email
<td>:
<td><input name="email" type="text">
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<td>
<td><input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</table>

 

sessions.php (registering the session variable):

<?php
session_start();

$myusername = $_POST['username'];

$_SESSION['username'] = $myusername;
$_SESSION['email'] = $_POST['email'];



echo "Go to <a href='test.php'>Test</a>";

?>

 

test.php (showing the variable):

<?php
session_start();


echo $myusername;

?>

 

Whenever I submit the form it goes to the sessions page. Then i go to the test page where it should display the username that was submitted but it isn't showing anything. I am trying to get it so that I can set variables (ex. $myusername) in the page so that it is easier to call at another time. If anyone can tell me why this isnt showing the username that would be great.

Try

echo $_SESSION['username'];

instead of

echo $myusername;

It will display it if I do it like that, but I am trying to get it so that it will display it when I do it with the $myusername. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

[DarkWater]

$myusername = $_SESSION['username'];

echo $myusername;

 

...?
