[SOLVED] using php sessions on different webpages

[LittleB]

Hello,

 

I would like some help on how to create sessions that can be used on another webpage, I have a form to be filled by users and I want their answers to be carried to another webpage before they are inserted into the database. Could anybody help.

 

Thank you in advance!

At the start of every script you need to use this one line:

session_start();

 

To assign a session variable a value use it like this:

$SESSION['name']='Fred';

or

$SESSION['age']=35;

 

To read it use it like this:

echo 'Name is '.$_SESSION['name'];

 

To clear it:

unset($_SESSION['name']);

Well you could just post your form to the next page. Don't forget to read the manual it has lots of information about sessions: http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

Many thanks for your replies!!!!!

 

After posting my question I realised where I went wrong, I viewed the second php page (where the variable is called) without viewing the first one (where variable is declared and set). I admit that was very silly of me and I am posting it in case someone else does what I did =-)

 

Thanks again!!
