Include_Once and Session Variables


MeanMrMustard

Recommended Posts

I need to pass some session variables to another page via the Include_Once command.

Does anyone know if this can be done and if so what the code would be? This is what I have so far and the session variables don't carry across...

Start.php

<?
Session_Start();
$Ref_Name = $_SESSION['Ref_Name'];
include_once("..common/header.php");

?>


Header.php

<?
Session_Start();
$Ref_Name = $_SESSION['Ref_Name'];

?>

Basically the Header needs the variable to dynamically create a menu to be displayed on the initial page.

Ideally, you should call session_start() only once from any file. From what I see, you're restarting the session which isn't too good as you can't access it in the included file. Start it in start.php only.
