Re: Using and Echoing Session Variables

Hi everyone. A few quick pointers if you have time... I've created a session, easy enough: <?php session_start(); ?> I've created variables: $_SESSION['UserID'] = UserID; $_SESSION['Authorised']="yes"; $_SESSION['logname'] = $logname; When a user clicks a link to a test page I created the following doesn't work though: echo $_SESSION["UserID"]; Do I need to use the (again): <?php session_start(); ?>

Yep - any time you want sessions you need to start them (every page). This can be avoided with a php.ini setting, but that is just evil so we'll pretend I didn't suggest that :)

??? Confused...! Also - rather than list the session variables the way I am new line session, new line session etc. is there a better way...?

The way you're assigning session variables is fine. There are other ways you *could* do it; what are you aiming for?
