accessing multiple list items and session problem

[veena]

1.I am using session variables to access across multiple pages. I have registered the variable in my main page. And in the subsequent pages, I have started the session and trying to access the registred session variabels using $_SESSION['variablename'] But when I echo the variable in those pages, I don't get any value. Why is this? Apart ffrom starting the session in all these pages, do I have to do something else ion order to access the variables?

2. From the multiple list box, how can I get the value of the selected items?

[barand]

session_start();
$myvar = $_SESSION['myvar']

should work.

Give your list a name like 'mylist[]' and the selections will be posted in an array.

for part 2,

You mean how do you assign a value to a select box?
<select name="eh">
<option value="a value">a value</option>
</select>

To get multiple values you'd need

<select name="eh[]">
<option value="a value">a value</option>
<option value="b value">b value</option>
<option value="c value">c value</option>
</select>
