Simple session...

[thom_41]

I'm quite new to that session thing.

I would like to know how to create a session and display it on another page.

I use that as an example
Page1--------------------
session_start();
$ses_test = "Paul";
session_register("ses_test")

<a href="2.php4">next</a>

Page2--------------------
echo $ses_test;

This does not work. I thought so anyway!, but how to have it work?

Help!

In the page where you want to display the session variables, you need to use the session_start() keyword.

It not only initiates the session, but also tells all pages with it at the top that you want to use variables in the session object.

Try this for your "page2":
<?php

session_start();
echo $ses_test;

print '<br><br>';
print "<Table border=1>\n";

if (!$PHPSESSID)
print '<TR><TD align=center>NO SESSION IS ACTIVE</Td></Tr>';

else {
print '<Tr><Td align=center>SessionID: ' . $PHPSESSID . '</Td></Tr>';

while (list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_SESSION_VARS)) {
    print "<Tr><Td align=right>$key</Td><Td align=left>$val</Td></Tr>\n";
}

}
?>
