Undefined variable with session var

I'm using microsoft PWS as a developing platform on Win98.

I get this error when I try to echo a session variable:

Notice: Undefined variable: sessionArtID in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspweb\000php\show-session.php on line 4
sessionArtID=

Here is my code in first page which initializes my variable:

session_start();
$sessionArtID = "krudtaa";
session_register("sessionArtID");

On the same page I have a link to another PHP page which tries to display the content of the var like this:

session_start();
echo("sessionArtID=$sessionArtID");

Any suggestions ...???

please create a folder named tmp in c:\
Beacuse php write the session file to c:\tmp
so u must create if.

These lines have errors:

session_register("sessionArtID");

the sessionArtID variable should have the $ sign before it as in any other variable in PHP.

I havent tested anything here so if that doesnt work then........

Have looked in several tutorials on the net.
Everyone uses the same syntax like this:
session_register("sessionArtID");

without the dollar sign.

Have created the folder...

I still get the error message!

Any suggestions...

(this gives me a headace soon... should be
really simple to make work but.. :-) )

I cant get sessions to work under W98, apache 1.3.26/apache 2.0.39 & PHP 4.06 <-> 4.2.2.

I dont get any errors, but the session values disapears on next page.

Try this:

page 1:
<?php
session_start();
session_register("test");
$SESSION['test'] = "session tester";
echo "session value: ".$SESSION['test'];
?>

page 2:
<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['test'];
echo "<br>did print sessions value...";
?>
