Jenk Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 [code]<?phpsession_start();$_SESSION['variable'] = 'foobar';?>[/code]That's all you need to start a session and to assign a session variable, php does the rest for you.Just remember to have session_start(); at the top of every page before _any_ output is produced, and the session data, if still valid, will be accessible via $_SESSION superglobal.
