How do I create superglobal session variables?

[webmaster1]

I've read the manual. I have the following:

 

<?php
if($count==1){
session_register("loginusername");
session_register("loginpassword");
header("location:/somewhere");
}
?>

 

Since this approach is deprecated I've tried replacing the functions with the superglobals:

 

<?php
if($count==1){
$_SESSION['loginusername'] = $loginusername;
$_SESSION['loginpassword'] = $loginpassword;
header("/somehwere");
}
?>

 

 

How do I correctly define the session variables? Should I be using session_start?

Yes. Place session_start at the beginning of the PHP script.

Nuts. I had tried placing it at the beginning of my if else condition.

 

Thanks Ken.
