Pass Session between pages

alirezaok

i have page1.php. it protected with session (user name & password)
after one user can access to this page there is link to page2.php:

in page2.php i read the session that created with page1.php then if it valid it show page2.php

the problem is how do i pass session from page1 to page2?

when i click on this link page2.php cann't showes because there isn't session.
(so i don't want pass session between 2 pages by url string that itisn't safe)

Thanks

To use or create a session variable you must have a session_start(); at or near the beginning of your code, and it must be before any output (echos, html tags and such.
so you need session_start on page 1 and also on page two to be able to read any session variables you set in page 1.

pppppp

is it necessary to use session_start() on page2 also?

Yes. You use it in any script that you want to use session data in. For more information (and coding examples) visit the man page for [man]session_start/man.
