need simple help with Sessions in pHP

[ssdatar]

hello here ,
i just need a simple help with php sessions.
i have 2 pages... page1.php and page 2.php

contents of
page 1.php

<?PHP
session_start();
$_session['key'] ='on';
?>

contents of page2.php

<?PHP
session_start();
echo $_session['key'];
?>

why is the session not passing to the page2.php...
can anyone help me ?
the page1.php displays "on "
but the page2.php displays no value.

try $_SESSION instead, with capital letters.

And the technique should be:

<?php
session_start();

if(empty($_SESSION['key']))
print "session is empty";
else
echo $_SESSION['key'];
?>
