php sessions

[robvan75]

Hi,

I am new to php and I created two simple php scripts, session_test1.php and session_test2.php.When I view session_test2.php in my browser I get a blank page, I was expecting to see the word John.I am using godaddy as a provider.

 

session_test1.php

 

<?php session_start();

$_SESSION['name']=John;

?>

 

 

session_test2.php

 

<?php session_start();

echo $_SESSION['name'];

?>

Add the following lines to the top of both pages:

 

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

In session_test1.php the string "John" should be in quotes.

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['name']='John';
?>
