[SOLVED] Session Question

[jwwceo]

I am having some trouble with Sessions. If I register a session variable like this:

 

$permission ="no";

 

session_register("permission");

 

Shouldn't I be able to use $permission on all my pages which have the session start tag a the top???

 

I have this at the very top of my next page and I get no response:

<?php

session_start();

 

echo "{$permission}";

[phpSensei]

<?php
session_start(); // This must be on all pages

$string = "Joey";

$_SESSION['name'] = $string;


?>

 

PART 2

 

<?php
session_start();

print "My name is: " . $_SESSION['name'];

?>

Session_register() is depreciated (everyone should have stopped using it in 2002) and only works when register_globals are on.

 

The method that phpSensei posted is the proper way.

 

Also, check your web server log for errors when you have fundamental php code that does not function as expected.
