Data only gets passed from page to page either by putting it in an HTML form
that gets sent to the next page (or otherwise through query parameters in the
URL) where it shows up in $_GET or $_POST, cookies ($_COOKIE), or through
sessions.

If you want to pass a value over the session, you have to put it in the
$_SESSION array (after starting the session), and it'll then be available in
$_SESSION on the next page.
