Hi all i wonder how i can pass user information such as login name to diffrent pages using sessions. My intention is that i want in diffrent pages the php pages automatically knows who is using the page and where user log name is necessary it is avaliable by just doing echo $username or using $username in queries.Furthermore, i want the sessions some how expire within 15 min or so.I be happy if an expert show me how i can create sessions and how to use it in php pages for above purpuse. Thanks

Hi,

In order to use session variables they must be declared as:
$_SESSION['your_variable'];

Providing you have declared SESSION_START(); at the begining of your script each time you want to use your session variable.

Patience, perseverance, persistence...yessss!!!!

Many thanks for u reply. Do u mean in my first page i do some thing like this at the top of page :
when i go to next page shoud i pass variable or some thing ? how to use the variable stored in session in 2 page ? how to call it ?Thanks

Hi,(Assalamo Aliekum),

                      Yes it is good to use session_start() at the beginning of the code, but it does not work when we user
("Location:newusers.php"); after that.then what will be the solution.

Thanks.
