please help

[destop]

hi

when i call session_start() at the beginning of a page it always creates a new session rather than pick up one that has already started, how can i make sure that it carries on the same session

example code:

one.php

<?
session_start();
$_SESSION["name"] = "destop";
header ("location:path/to/two.php");
exit;
?>

two.php

<?
session_start();
echo "hello $_SESSION["name"];
?>

im using win 98, with php 4.2.3 and xitami

Thanks for any help....😕

If you pasted the code correctly then you have an error in it...

try

<? 
session_start(); 
echo "hello ".$_SESSION["name"]; 
?> 

(echo changed)
