Session Handling

[lisa_alias]

hi everyone!

i have some problems regarding session in PHP.

the problem :

1. why is the variable 'PHPSESSID' not working?
- it works for the first time only. contains nothing for the next next times..

2. when we set

<?
session_start();
$_SESSION['a'] = $_POST['a'];
$a1 = $_SESSION['a'];
?>

in page #1, when proceed to page #2, '$a1' contains no value. why is that?

yes, i have used 'session_start()' on the top of the pages. should i use 'session_id()' as well?

anyone has any comments?

thx..

Because you have to call it as a session variable.. e.g, put:

$a1 = $_SESSION['a']; 

On each page that uses $a1. This is a security thing I believe.
