php session help

[Anon]

i need some help with sessions.

i dont really know how sessions work, i wanted to know if i was to register a session by session_register() on a page, does the session continue if i leave that page or do i have to declare a register on each page ?

Hey,

The session will continue across every page. On the page that you declare the session you will need something like:

session_start(); #start session

$values = "this string will be stored";
session_register("values"); #register values

Then on a subsequent page that you want to access a session write:

session_start(); #start session
echo $values;

Which will print out “this string will be stored”

You can keep doing this as long as
1. Your session doesn't time out
2. One of your browser windows is open
3. You don't call session_destroy();

Hope that explains it all!
