No. Here it is (assuming your are at PHP 4 or greater).
To create the session variable you do:
$_SESSION['the_variable_name_you_choose'] =
the_value_or_variable_to_be_assigned_to_it;
The variable name is anything you want. All you need be consistent about is
using the same index in both the setting and the using pages.
Example 1:
in the setting page
$_SESSION['my_address'] = 'this_is_my_address';
in the using page:
$myAge = $_SESSION['my_address'];
The variable $myAge will contain the value 'this_is_my_address'.
Example 2:
in the setting page:
$theArray = array();
$theArray['my_address'] = 'this_is_my_address';
$theArray['my_name'] = 'this_is_my_name';
$_SESSION['my_values'] = $theArray;
in the using page:
$anArray = $_SESSION['my_values'];
and you have
$anArray['my_address'] and $anArray['my_name'] having the correct values.
What I was asking was that in example 2 if you did
<a href=URL_of_using_page?thevalues=<?php echo $theArray ?> >
and in the using page use
$anArray = $_GET['thevalues'];
would that work? I think so, but am not sure. I am sure that example 2
works.
