Session variables

Anon

I don't know how to make and read session variables. I've used session vars in ASP, and there was preaty simple, but here in php...uf.

In somethin.php I've write this to make a session variable:

session_register("sesime");

And then in another php file I used:

if (session_is_registered("sesime")):
(do something)

But the function session_is_registered is false! Why?

Help! I'm doing a login page where username will be stored in a session var.

Thanks!

You should put session_start() at the beginning of all of you pages that are going to use sessions. I believe that session_register() will call session_start() if it hasn't already been called, but I'm not sure about session_is_registered().

Hi
use session_start(); at the beginning of each page that uses sessions.
If yo call session_register this is done automatically on that page but I call session_start(); on every page making it an easy habit.
