Hi,

I'm busy fiddling with sessions under PHP5, and very quickly learned
what I would have found out even sooner in the PHP manual - declaring
your session variable on page1.php makes it available on page2.php
(assuming that's the next page you load) but doesn't then make it
available on page3.php unless you respecify it on page2.php. I'm sure
there's a very good reason for it, and I know I can get around it by
using a database and the session ID, but I would really like to know:
why? I've already searched, but can't find any more information on the
issue.

Thanks,
John Heathcote
