There's no magic. Session variables behave exactly like any other variable. If you output a session variable before initializing it, you will see nothing (and a notice is generated, depending on your error_reporting setting). The only difference, in terms of using session variables, is that they persist from page to page. > I would like to be able to initialize a session variable on one page, > call a second page, have the code on the second page process some > information and reinitialize the session variable to another value so > that new value could be available to be used on the first page. This is exactly what happens, although when you assign a variable a new value, I wouldn't call it initializing, since the variable already exists. Hope that helps.
