hello people

does anyone out there know about php's ability to handle session management?

thanks

Yes.

on script 1.php

session_start();
session_register('foo');
foo = "bar";

on script 2.php

session_start()
session_register('foo');
print(foo);

Look up those functions for further details, but that is the start. You could also just register one associative array ...

You don't have to register the variables on every script, only the first one.

Really? After session_start() php automatically dumps all session variables into the main scope?

Thanks for the info.

Yes it does. The variables are recorded in the session file on the server, so all php needs to know is which session file to look at.
