You start a session with session_start(). That should probably be one of the first lines, if not the first line, of any of your files in which you want to use the session.

Then, after starting the session, you can save values to it or retrieve values from it, using $_SESSION. E.g.:

Page 1:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['test'] = 'hello';

Page 2:

<?php
session_start();
echo '<p>The session value for test is now: ' . $_SESSION['test'] . '</p>';

Hope that helps a bit ;). If not, have you tried searching Google for tutorials on PHP sessions?

Oh.. Thanks a lot respected..... it worked out for me... thanks again..
