RE: [PHP] php sessions...

sorry..left this out! in other words.... why does it appear that i need to set the SESSION var to another var in order to use it..... thanks... but here's my issue... i have session_start() at the top of the page. however when the page is displayed on the 1st time, i'm unable to use $_SESSION['foo'] as a direct var... $eee = $_SESSION['myAuctionID']; echo " blah..... $_SESSION['myAuctionID'] gg<br> <--- this doesn't seem to work blah44..... $eee gg<br> <--- this seems to work blah66..... $myAuctionID gg<br> <--- this doesn't seem to work "; my question is why do i not seem to be able to use the session var later in the page, the 1st time the page is displayed... thanks... bruce bedouglas@earthlink.net -----Original Message----- From: Dan Joseph [mailto:djoseph@duhq.us] Sent: Friday, May 16, 2003 8:57 AM To: Bruce Douglas; 'PHP Lists' Subject: RE: [PHP] php sessions...
