simple Session problem

alisam

I have a file where the variable user has a value. now i want to use sessions to pass the content of user to another file to echo it there. I don't know why but it fails. Now here the 2 files (test.php and test2.php):

test.php :

<?
session_start();
$user = "ali";
session_register("user");

<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>

</body>

test2.php:

echo $user ;

would be glad if someone could tell me what i am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance

You have to use session_start() in test2.php.
In every file you want to use session variables you have to start the session engine.

As Umbra says, you need session_start() in all your files. Not sure if its incorrect (not stated in any docs etc), but when you register a session variable no need for " ", i.e. use

session_register(user);
