Sessions Help

I am working on my register page.

I start the session at the top of my php file:

Code:

---

<?php

        // Lets start the session
        session_start();

---

After form/data validation I create some session variables ($username comes from the HTML textbox and $insertedId comes from a select statement):

Code:

---

                        // Lets set a few session variables
                        $_SESSION['userName'] = $username;
                        $_SESSION['userId'] = $insertedId;

---

Once sesssion variables are set I change locations to another php file:

Code:

---

                        // Lets get out of here ...
                        header("Location: home.php");

---

now, I am in home.php and I try to print my session variables:

Code:

---

<?php 

                        echo "userName=". $_SESSION['userName'];
                        echo "userId=". $_SESSION['userId'];

?>

---

This is the error message I get:

Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in C:\wamp\www\TheLastPick\home.php on line 45
userName=
Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in C:\wamp\www\TheLastPick\home.php on line 46
userId=



Any idea why my session variables aren't accessible in home.php?

Many thanks for any help.

you need to be using session_start() on every page that uses sessions. this function also resumes sessions, and doesn't just begin them. just place that at the top of your home.php page and everything should be fine.
