Can't register a variable for session

[kcdjax]

Variables won't register. page2.php just returns:

The content of $sess_var is

See code below:

page1.php

<?
session_start();
session_register("sess_var");
$sess_var = "Hello world!";

echo "The content of \$sess_var is $sess_var<br>";

?>

<a href="page2.php">Go to next page</a>

page2.php

<?
session_start();
echo "The content of \$sess_var is $sess_var<br>";
session_unset();
session_destroy();
?>

Hi
I can't see anything wrong with your code, are you getting any error msg's? Have you successfully used sessions before?

I think on page one you need to set the value of your variable before you save it off into a session variable. So, you should do:

$sess_var = "Hello world!";
session_register("sess_var");

No, thats not it, I register all my session vars before actually assigning values, I think it must be the setup she's? using.
