Another Session problem

[Anon]

How can I keep the session alive when I redirected to another page? The session work pretty fine within one page. But not when i redirected to another page. Can Somebody help??

Are you calling session_start() on the page you're redirecting to?

[Anon]

so u mean on every single page i need to call seesion_start? then how am I going to pass some varibles from one page to another ?

When you call session_start() the second time it will reopen the current session if it exists or start a new one if it doesn't.

i.e. this should display the contents of the variable $name

<?php
session_start();
session_register("name");
$name="me";
echo "<A href=\"nextfile.php\">click here</A>";
?>

nextfile.php is
<?php
session_start()
echo $_SESSION['name'];
// or use $name depending on your version of php
?>

Mark.
