In my last post I talked about <a href="http://
tutorialslodge.com/session-php">Session In PHP</
a>. Today I will be discussing Practical Use Of
Session In PHP. This is going to be a straight
forward tutorial, we are going store information in
session and use the information across multiple
pages. So let get started.
Open your favorite text editor (Notepad), paste the
code below in it and save as page1.php
[code lang="php"]
<?php
session_start(); //start session
$_SESSION['username'] = "mezie"; //store
information in the session variable
?>
[/code]
The code is quite straight forward. We starts the
session and assigned a string to a session variable.
Next, create another file and name it page2.php.
Paste the code below in it.
[code lang="php"]
<?php
session_start(); //start session
echo "My Username is ".$_SESSION['username']
; //display information in the session variable
?>
[/code]
When you run the code above in your browser, you
will see <strong>My Username is Mezie</strong>.
As you can see the string (mezie) has being made
available to page2.php with the help of session.
This is just one out of the numerous ways session
can be used. I hope this tutorial was helpful. Feel
