Sharing session variables

[Mladen Gogala]

How can I share session registered variables between different processes?
Here is my problem:
File 1:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
session_start() ;
$var1="This should";
$var2="be displayed";
$_SESSION[ 'var1' ]=$var1;
$_SESSION[ 'var2' ]=$var2;
if (session_is_reg istered('var1') ) {
print "Var1 is registered<br>" ;
}
if (session_is_reg istered('var2') ) {
print "Var2 is registered<br>" ;
}
print "<A HREF=/work/test2.php>Secon d File</A>";
?>
File 2:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
if (session_is_reg istered('var1') ) {
print "test2:Var1 is registered<br>" ;
}
if (session_is_reg istered('var2') ) {
print "test2:Var2 is registered<br>" ;
}

$var1=$_SESSION[ 'var1' ];
$var2=$_SESSION[ 'var2' ];
print "$var1 $var2 <br>";
?>
In file test2.php neither variable is reported as a session registered
variable and nothing is displayed. File /tmp/sess* has the correct
contents:
var1|s:11:"This should";var2|s: 12:"be displayed";

How can I establish real global variables, ones which will
be visible in both files? I thought that httpd was supposed
to read the sessxxxxx file, depending on the cookie received from
the browser and establish those global variables.
I apologize if it is a beginer question, but I was unable to
answer it either through the O'Reilly book or PHP online literature.
I'm at the verge of re-installing PHP 4.3.36 with shmop module enabled.

make sure you add:
session_start() ;
and the top of each page that you want to access the variables in.

Thanks a lot. That was it.

Be sure to session_start() the session in test2.php. The session_start()
function is a bit misnamed. You use it to start a new session but you also
use it to continue an old one.
