session variables not maintaining across page changes

[seanpaulcail]

Ok I start each page with:

<?
// start the session
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); //IE 6 Fix

then I register a variable that was defined on the previous page by the user filling in a textbox named"CoBorrower"

// Get the user's input from the form
$HaveCoBorrower = $_POST['cobor'];

// Create a new Session Value 
session_register('cobor');

// Register the input with the value
$_SESSION['cobor'] = $HaveCoBorrower;



echo $HaveCoBorrower;

then when I go to the third page, I loose the CoBorrower variable: Page 3:

<?
// start the session
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); //IE 6 Fix




echo $HaveCoBorrower;
?>

but $HaveCoBorrower does not print to the screen on page three, so I assume the variable is lost.

Please help. I've been reading tutorials and I can't find the answer to my problem.

Thanks

Delete the session_register and just use:

$_SESSION['cobor'] = $HaveCoBorrower;

<?
// start the session
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); //IE 6 Fix


// Get the user's input from the form
$HaveCoBorrower = $_POST['cobor'];

// Register the input with the value
$_SESSION['cobor'] = $HaveCoBorrower;

?>

And the variable $HaveCoBorrower will be available on everypage that starts with session_start(); ?

Just double checking before I make changes to my 16 page form.

thanks
