I cannot get the session value?

[gca07738]

logincheck.php

session_start();
$_SESSION['name']="joe";
(part 1)
header("Location:index.php");
(part 2)
<a href=index.php>link</a>

index.php

session_start();
echo $SESSION['name'];
for part1 :It has nothing!
for part2 :It can tranfer the session value to index.php
why cannot use part1 to get the session value?

According to your code, you don't need to get the value of name in part 1... what do you mean ?

I want to save login user's account to _SESSION['name']

and use the _SESSION['name'] for every page

I can't get the _SESSION['name'] when I try to use them in every page.

(I'm sorry I'm incautious to post the same question above!!)

Personnally, what I do is something like this :

$user = "joe";
session_register("user");

But take care... if you do register a session variable in a function, you must do this :

function Function_Name () {
$GLOBALS["user"] = "joe";
session_register("user");
}

You'll get the value of the session variable with $_SESSION["user"].

Now, does it work ?
