time() is not passing as a Session variable?

[harryusa]

My scripts are successfully passing single variables and arrays from page to page but I can't get $_Session['orderid'] = time(); to work. I have tried "time()" in an attempt to make it a string and a dozen other things. echo time(); works just fine so I know the server is sending the data. I am looking for a simple way to use the servers time functions to make a fairly unique order id to pass from the order interface to the checkout page and finally the thank you page. What is wrong with my syntax?

Session must be uppercase.

$_SESSION

Also, make sure you're starting the session

session_start();
// before anything else.

I don't know what possessed me to un-cap $_SESSION for this variable but I did and that is exactly why it wasn't working.
Thank you!

Very welcome.

See you around.
