Hi,

I did that, the value of $s is getting stored properly in
$_SESSION['s'], but in the second load of the page, $_SESSION['s'] is
not showing in the case '2' code.

Either script does not hav e access to $_SESSION or values held in
$_SESSION are removed. Does PHP give an invalid index error in the case
that I access $_SESSION['s'] and $_SESSION does not have an 's'
element?
I am asking this because, it is giving no such error, probably meaning
that the $_SESSION array has 's' but the value is getting cleaned.

also, in the case '2' code,
print_r($_SESSION);
outputs nothing at all!

Also, I have tried -
session_name("samplesession");
session_start();
in the case '1' code at the start.

But in the case '2' code,
a session_is_registered("samplesession"); gives a FALSE.

I have register_globals=On in my php.ini.


Any other function needs to be used?
