PHP Sessions how to store a variable

[CdRSkULL]

Hi all.. been playing for the last couple of days and also doing lots of googling.. but still cant seem to figure out how to store a variable in a php session.

 

I only want to store one variable.. Now from what I've read you need application-top required which I have.. then I add something like.

 

$_SESSION['notes'] = "TESTING";

 

I am then trying to recall this variable from another page..

 

<?PHP $_SESSION['notes']; ?

 

Now I've tried using the session start but cant seem to get anything working.. I did read about tep_session_register or something.. but on searching for that revealed not much basic help.

 

could someone please just do a very basic example of what I need to code in to write and also read a variable back..

 

tvm..

  if ( ! tep_session_is_registered('notes') ) {
$notes = "TESTING";
tep_session_register('notes');
 }

The other page you use the var on has to use /includes/application_top.php to inherit the osC session (and all the var's)

 

Refer to the var as $notes on the other page.
