variable transport between pages, php

Question

I have a login page where after the user and password entry he is redirected to a new page.

How can I store this user’s data and make it available on the next pages?

Answer 1

One of the ways to do this is by using sessions. You need to place session_start() at the beginning of each page where you will activate the session. Here’s a simple example:

Home page

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST["email"])){
	$_SESSION["email"] = $_POST["email"];
	header("Location: minha_pagina.php");
	exit();
}
?>

Next page:

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION["email"])){
	echo $_SESSION["email"];
}
?>
