Hello everyone,

Although i have found a few posts from people with similar problems i cannot find anything quite the same.

I have created a user log in page, it works fine. Once the user has logged in they are then sent to a page which displays there info that has already been entered during the sign up process. The page also contains a few extra fields for them to fill in.

The problem i am having is that i cannot get the page to display the particular users info from the database.

I have tried using the session variable to get the username from the login screen.

I get this error :

Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\testtest\account.php on line 20

line 20 = <p>Hello, <?php echo $_SESSION['MM_Username']; ?></p>

I just cannot see where i hav gone wrong.

I have made the record set use the MM_Username session variable, and have obviously made a corresponding session variable called MM_Username.

Any help would be good.

Kind regards,
Simon W

I found that i needed to add:

<?php session_start();?>

to the top of the account page.

I would have thought DW would have done this auto...

anyway all is working now...
