Passing a SESSION variable

[dcjones]

Hi all.

I have looked at most of the posts relating to my problem and found no answer that I understood.

I want to pass a SESSION variable to another page, this is what I have so far.

<a href="agent_results.php?member_id=<? $_SESSION['_amember_user']['member_id'] ; ?>" target="_self">TAB FORMAT</a>

I want to be able to reference the "member_id" on page 2.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction.

actually, the whole point of sessions is so that you don't have to "pass" variables from page to page. the vars are stored on the server so when the session ID is propogated the vars with be available on subsequent page requests. consider the following example:

page1.php

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['member_id'] = 666;
echo '<a href="page2.php">take me to page 2</a>';
?>

page2.php

<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['member_id'];
?>
