i try to call my session in signup.php but i got error!please if i have mistake in my session code just correct me!
home.php page
code here under
<?php
session_start();
echo "welcome".$_SESSION." ".$_SESSION;
session_unset();
session_destroy();

?>

[urtrivedi]

in the begining (or before using session variable) of all pages make sure you write

session_start();

[tomato.pgn]

the first code in ur script must be session_start();
to do this just copy my code and write it just at the beginning of ur code...

<?php
session_start();
?>

Hope ur problem might be solved....if any problem persist PM me....

[urtrivedi]

whats new in your post totmato.pgn

Use the [ CODE ] tag man.

1. Hey Brother please use function functionName($argumentHere) OR class so that your code may look clean.
2. remove the session_unset() on the top because you now removing the session.
3. Set your session.
example: $SESSION = $variable;
