Session

[Freekstyle]

I want to carry some varibles which i got from a database on one page. I got the database info from the login page and i would like to know how could i carry the varibles over. But theres so many i dont want to do a http thing.

Any ideas

(i got it from one page with include script but i cant get it to another page.)

You could parse the database information into a form with only hidden variables. Ex:

<form>
<input type=hidden name="user" value="userName">
<input type=hidden name="emai" value="[e-mail]">
.
.
.
</form>

You get the idea...

Sessions are more useful when doing user authentication and keeping a user logged in across multiple pages. This is a quick and dirty way to transer a lot of variables from one page to one page.

If you want your session to hold lots of data

You should use an array

so

session_start();
//registering session
$_SESSION['sesname'] = array();
$_SESSION['sesname']['name'] = "planetsim";
$_SESSION['sesname']['location'] = "Aus";
//etc you can keep going on.

Then on all the pages you acquire that the session be needed you must first use session_start(); than use $_SESSION

[osusano]

session_start(); 
//registering session 
$_SESSION['sesname'] = array(); 
$_SESSION['sesname']['name'] = "planetsim"; 
$_SESSION['sesname']['location'] = "Aus"; 
//etc you can keep going on.

this 1 work for session but how can i get the value of name and location from the session if im on the next page?

sorry abt the question im just new with session and i havent really tried it.. just wanna know how it works
