[SOLVED] Session PHP

[TheFilmGod]

Hi,

    How do you create php sessions? Also how do you hold those variables that a visitor turns on or does to the next pages he/she goes to. And how to stop the session if that person leaves? I was hoping you can give me some insight.

put

session_start();

at the begginning of your code and then

you can store session values using

$_SESSION['name'] = "name";

$_SESSION['pass'] = "pass";

 

you can unset the session with unset($_SESSION['name']);

and put session_destroy; after the unsets

Thanks for some the info. But I had a question. How would you code a "turn off" and "turn on" switch and carry it to the next page. The pages you gave me make a lot of sense, yet I'm still totally lost.

 

<?php

session_start();

..........then what?

at the top of each page of code put the session_start(); or session will not work, unless auto session start is set in the php.ini

as long as you have the session_start(); the values that you store in the session will be available  on each page.

access the values with $name = $_SESSION['name'];
