It's much easier and works better to use: <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['sess_var'] = "Hello World!"; //then you can echo echo "The content of \$_SESSION['sess_var'] is " . $_SESSION['sess_var'] . "<br>"; ?> <a href="session2.php">Next Page</a> ?>
That will set everything and echo correctly... this also makes it more obvious for later where your variables are coming from.
