Help with session vars

[Shawn Northrop]

I have on one page:
session_start() ;
session_registe r ("email");
session_registe r ("firstname" );
session_registe r ("lastname") ;
$HTTP_SESSION_V ARS ["email"] = $email;
$HTTP_SESSION_V ARS ["firstname"] = $firstname;
$HTTP_SESSION_V ARS ["lastname"] = $lastname;

when i type:
echo $HTTP_SESSION_V ARS ["email"] ;
on this page it displays the users email taken from a form.

I then added a link to another page with a form

when i submit the form it goes to a php script which has
echo $HTTP_SESSION_V ARS ["email"] ;
This has no result.

Am i doing something wrong?

Start the session on the second page before you call for the session variable.
[PHP]
<?php
session_start() ;
echo $HTTP_SESSION_V ARS ["email"] ;
?>
[/PHP]

Thanks that worked. Do i want to call session_close() ; on every page or only when the user logs out?

[exoskeleton]

only when you log out! but what do you want to do...to close the session or destroy it? :)

not just session_destroy () ... you have to clear all the arrays ... many previous topic about clearing the sessions...try to search in this site...i asked about this few months ago...hehe... :)

more power good sir
