Re: Using and Echoing Session Variables

OK, so here's my conundrum... After verifying the user and pulling all fields from the record I declare two variables (just testing here): $_SESSION['UserID'] = UserID;

now contains the string / constant UserID

$_SESSION['FurtherComments'] = FurtherComments;

now contains the string / constant FurtherComments

on the next page I start a session, everything OK. I echo the UserID variable - fine. But the FurtherComments variable simply echoes "FurtherComments" even though there's a database field called "FurtherComments".

You'd need to do the actual call to your database and select the FurtherComments field, then assign the result of that query to $_SESSION['FurtherComments'].
