Session question...please help >>

[Avimander]

I'm trying this...just to test it.

<?php  

session_start();  

extract(mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT password FROM users WHERE id = '$id'")));  

$_SESSION['userid'] = $id;
$_SESSION['pwd'] = md5($passwd);
if($password == md5($passwd)) {  

$valid_user = 1;  

echo "Right.";  

echo $_SESSION['userid']; // Returns "1" or whatever the ID might be

.......

if ($_GET[Goto] == "Login") {
session_start();
echo "<br>ID is still...";
echo $_SESSION['userid']; // Returns nothing :'(
}

Doesn't return on the second page. Eh? Is still new to PHP if you didn't notice >>

$_GET['Goto']

Why would that work, if "ID is still..." still prints anyway?

Help please 🙁

session_start(); needs to be the very first line in every page you want to recall your session variables

Thank you! 🙂
