Passing sessions to another page

anthill

I've used session before and have never had a problem. Yet i've come to use them again and can't for the life of me get a session value to pass from one page to another! Can anyone see what i'm doing wrong here:

page1.php:


<?

session_start();

session_register("test");

$_SESSION['test']= "set";

?>

<a href="page2.php">next</a>

?>

page2.php


<?

session_start();

echo $_SESSION['test'];

?>

Thanks

Ant

not sure if this is your problem, but session_register() has long been depricated and is no longer needed. other than that, there isn't anything worng with your code.

Thanks for your reply. I was aware of this but thought i'd bang it in incase this was needed. I'm going to use cookies instead. Cheers

See this thread for more details on sessions. There are several methods posted for passing variables from page to page.
