you'll want to take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
you can start a session by starting it or by registering a variable.
session_start()
session_register("variablename")
once set, the variables are available as $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["variablename"]
or (depending on how php is configured) $variablename.
on my macos x box, $variablename does work.
