scootstah Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 How can i access the $_SESSION['USER_NAME'] in other Pages ; Just like that. and will this code for $var = $_SESSION[uSER_NAME] can i get the SESSIOn value in " $var" variable ?? Yes, though make sure to use quotes between the square brackets otherwise you will get an error. $_SESSION['USER_NAME'] not $_SESSION[uSER_NAME] Also, make sure you have session_start at the top of your script. In order to work with sessions, this function MUST have been called.

scootstah Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 You need to have session_start() on both pages - the one where you set the session, and the one where you are trying to receive the session. It's easy enough to test, just make these two files: setsession.php <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar'; getsession.php <?php session_start(); echo $_SESSION['foo']; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/262304-can-i-assign-normal-variables-the-value-of-my-session-variable/#findComment-1344241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
