getting vars back from sessions

[Gryff]

i've read the documentation on php.net and in my book and i still cant get this working properly
my cookie ie = rds
instead of the defualt PHPSESSID
how do i get the variables
session_start();
session_register("result[0], result[4], result[5], result[6], result[7], result[8], result[9], result[10], result[11], result[12], result[13], result[14");

back on another page?
i tried $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[ " result[0] " ];
but it doesnt appear to be working if i use
echo( "$result[0]" );

can anyone help? *looks at freddy *

All you gotta do is register the array not every element

session_start();
session_register("result");
$result = array('blah1', 'blah2', 'blah3'); 

ON next page this should be available to you.

session_start();
foreach($result as $key => $val) {
    print "$key = $val<br>";
    }

on the first page i have
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE username like '$userid'") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
so $result is already an array

i still dont get how to grab the variables on the next page

[freddydoesphp]

You call session_start(); then access the variables, as in

print $result['fieldname']; 

Are you getting some kind of error? Have you looked in the session file to make sure the data is indeed being stored in it?

got it working now freddy
i didnt realise you needed to use session_start()
on each page you wanted them to be able to access them with.
