You may want to actually assign a value to $magazine and $company in the first script, though, if you want to see any results. If register_globals is OFF, then you should do it this way: Page 1: session_start(); $_SESSION['magazine'] = 'some value'; $_SESSION['company'] = 'some other value'; Page 2: <?php session_start(); ?> Magazine: <?php echo $_SESSION['magazine']; ?> Company: <?php echo $_SESSION['company']; ?> ---John Holmes...
