When you're dealing with session variables, it's a good idea to refer to
them using the new global variables.
<? //start.php
session_start();
$_SESSION['user'] = "bob"; // register the session var
$_SESSION['pass'] = "secret"; // register the session var
header("Location: p2.php");
?>
<? // p2.php
if(isset($_SESSION['user']) && isset($_SESSION['pass']))
{
echo $_SESSION['user'] . "<BR>";
echo $_SESSION['pass'] . "<BR>";
}
else
{
echo "not logged in";
}
?>
Of course this is no where near production/secure code :D
