Show only once

[zzz]

I have a piece on information that I would like to show only one to user. Originally I was thinking that I could session but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Here's the code:

if ($_SESSION["info"] != "hide")
{
     echo 'my note here';

 $_SESSION["info"] = "hide";
}

What am I missing?

session_star(), perhaps?

Used in conjunction with [man]session_start/man it should work.

I tested by putting

 echo $_SESSION["info"];

above my code and see it shows 'hide'.

How can it show the value 'hide' when I set it later?

I did close the browser and opened it again to break the session.

😕
