Learning Sessions

[plasmahba]

Hello there

I want to colect the results of a search in a session so I can take this results with me from page to page so I decided to create a session, but I just don´t know exactly how to manage it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is what I`ve done

<?php
session_start();

if (!isset($findname)){
echo "Must specify a name";
echo "</html></body> \n";
exit;
}
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mydb WHERE Name LIKE '%$findname%' ");
//$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

if (!mysql_num_rows($result)) {
echo "Nothing found";
exit;
} else {
while ($Row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$Name = $Row["Name"];

?>

______________________________________>

Now if I want this session in another page how can I call the session?
Like...
session_start();

...where I want to get the search from above?

Thanx

You would assign the variables you want to carry over like this:

$_SESSION['name'] = $name;

Then, in subsequent pages, use it like any other variable, like this:

echo $_SESSION['name'];

(Place "session_start()" at the top of every page.)
