[Resolved] passing variables using sessions

[niall_buckley]

Hi all,

how do you pass variables from page to page using sessions...
i always thought that when you use $_POST that variables were globized and that you didn't have to use hidden fields but when i try this the variables don't get passed on any further than one page along...can anyone please tell me why...

Thanks in advance

POST variables come from a form (mostly). That's why they only get passed over one page. Using sessions is probably one of the easiest things (in theory) when using PHP.

Place this on every page that needs a session:

session_start();

Then you can either use the session*() functions that are provided with PHP, or do it the short way and use the $SESSION variable that is predefined.

Hope this helps!
