New to Sessions 2

[jodleren]

Hi!

I started a thread app 2 weeks ago and redlied to that, but it seems
to be so low in the list, that it will not be seen.

My problem - I need to transfer the sesstion to another page?

say page1.php goes to page2.php ( <a href="page2.php") ?

So, s start_sesstion, $_SESSION["fgdf"]=fsdgdf should be readable by
the other file... how do I achive that?

Add to both pages:
session_start();

Do this before you do anything else, like creating output.
so on page1.php:

session_start();
$_SESSION["test"] = "Hi";
and on page2.php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION["test"];
// should say Hi

PS: Make sure you have error reporting ON.
PS2: Make sure your php.ini doesn't have session_auto_start on.

That's how sessions work. Data is shared between pages by default. That's
the whole point of them.

Simply call start_session() at the top of both pages, and they can share
data. (A lot of newbies think that start_session() creates a new blank
session, wiping out any old session data. It does not. Think of it as
meaning "start using the session", not "start a new session".)

Thanks, I got it to work. Toby's explanation cleared things up.

Erm....
I am from Holland/The Netherlands, not Sweden.
Or is it norwegian? Danish? Finnish?
Sounds all impossible to me. ;-)

kind of stuff too... :-)
