-OK. Is it more complicated to write?

"session" is great, gets me high every time. See your local supplier or go to http://php.net/session to order yours.

In summary...

1) Call session_start(); at the top, that is to say the very first line, of every script
2) Use the $_SESSION superglobal at will (no pun intended)
3) PHP takes care of storing the contents of $_SESSION between pages
4) Remember that the session will expire after a period of inactivity or when the user closes their browser (subject to the configuration in php.ini - the URL above explains all that)
5) There is no step 5!
