[SOLVED] Questions on sessions

[twilightnights]

Hi I have a few questions on sessions in php.

1 ) Do you have to place SessionStart(); at the top of EVERY page that makes use of the session?
2 ) Do session variables carry over from 1 page to another automatically? IE I set up variables in 1 session on the login page then return to main, will it remember the same user name?

1. Yes unless session autostart is turned on, in the ini file
2. Yes.
If the session start is at the top, as long as session destroy isn't called, and the browser isn't closed (iunless you modify there lifetime in the ini file.

Cool, thanks.  Was reading a tutorial on member systems.  But I prefer not to copy and paste code and actually code, was making sure I understood it correctly.
