how to use session variables throughout all pages

[mukeshrasm]

hello

i want to maintain the session of particular user throughout the webpage after login.

it should display the login name on each and every page.

i tried it in this way:

session_start()
$_SESSION['username']=$name;
 

it works for only this page.

and for next pages i tries like

session_start()
$_SESSION['usename']=$_POST['$_SESSION[username]'];
echo "Welcome ".$_SESSION['username'];

but it is not working

please help me out. <Email removed>

Hi.

Check out this article on Sessions in PHP.

In short, you can put something like this on one page:

session_start();
$_SESSION['UserName'] = "Atli";
 

And something like this on some other page:

session_start();
echo "Your name is ". $_SESSION['UserName'];
 

And it will print "Your name is Atli";

If that doesn't work, it is probably a problem with the Session support on your server. You may want to call and yell at your host :)
