not passing my variable

[jarow]

I have a session variable that looks like this.

<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");
$_SESSION['user'] = $_REQUEST['user'];
$user=$_REQUEST['user'];
?>

When I set this variable as follows I get a response that says it can´t find the _update_confirm.php. In other words it is not reading the $user variable I have put in front of it.

<?php
$updateGoTo = $user."_update_confirm.php?update=true&user=".$user;
?>

Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

try this

session_start();

header("Cache-control: private");

session_register('user')'

$user=$_REQUEST['user'];
