I was using this which I believe accomplishes the same thing:

session_start();
$_SESSION['firstname'] = $_POST['firstname'];

now, if I understand correctly, the element from the _POST array should
have set the variable in the _SESSION array.

So how the heck do I retrieve it on subsiquent pages? And what sort of
settings do you need in PHP.INI for sessions to work?

I've got a ton of inherited code/programs that are using global
variables=on and I've got to turn that off as soon as I can and I'm
starting at a dead stop at the moment.

Any help is appreciated.
