(Top posting fixed)
It's just as easy to get them out of the session:
session_start();
$firstname = $_SESSION['firstname'];
The default settings in the php.ini file often work fine. Just look at
the session entries. It's pretty well documented.
The biggest problem I've seen is the session.save_path must point to a
directory where the web server (if you're not using the CGI version of
PHP) must have read/write access.
P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.
