A couple of syntax questions

[sabien]

If I use a form with POST and on the action page I say:

$SESSION['FirstName']=$POST['FirstName'];

Doesn't this register the FirstName variable?

I don't seem to be able to use this without an additional:

$FirstName=$_POST['FirstName'];

Should you be able to echo a session variable like this:

echo $_SESSION['FirstName'];

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure you use [man]session_start[/man] before you attempt to access or set session variables.
