note 59681 added to ref.session

Background: I am a bit familiar with session variables in ASP, but PHP is a tackle. Question: ASP needs a Global.asa for session variables. Does PHP have something like this; and if so, what? Thank you in advance! :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59681 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59681&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59681&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59681&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59681&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59681&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59681&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59681&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59681&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
