note 52017 added to function.session-register

I can get all the examples to work. The thing is, all the examples I've seen all access the session value on the <i>same page</i> where it is set. How is this session? Session is only of value if I can click through to the next page and then see the value. See below: ------------------------------- <?php session_start(); $_SESSION["Cookiehead"] = "Jenkins"; ?> This is page1.php <br><br> Cookiehead value: <? echo $_SESSION["Cookiehead"] ?> <br><br> <a href="/test/page2.php">Goto page2.php</a> -------------------------------- <?php session_start(); $cookieheadValue = $_SESSION["Cookiehead"]; ?> This is page2.php <br><br> Cookiehead value: <? echo $cookieheadValue ?> <br><br> <a href="/test/page3.php">Goto page3.php</a> ------------------------------------ What am I missing?
