How to copy a variable from one page to another page?

[suigion]

hi all,

 

How do I copy variable from one page to another page in PHP?

For example: I want to put a $var in page A into page B.

 

Thanks...

<?php 

session_start();
$_SESSION['var'] = "next page";

echo '<a href="b.php">b</a>';
?>

b.php

session_start();
print $_SESSION['var'];

Make sure when you start the session (session_start() it is one of the first things on the page. The session has to be started before anything is sent to the browser.
