The form have LoginID and Pwd. when i click at the submit button, it will collect the LoginID and Pwd into the session variable.. then will link to page2.php. The problem i face now is i cannot get the session variable in page2.php.. below is my code.
    



<?php 
	session_start(); // start up your PHP session! 

	$_SESSION['LoginID']  = $_REQUEST["LoginID"];
	$_SESSION['Pwd'] = $_REQUEST["Pwd"];
?>

<form name="form1" action="page2.php" method="POST">

<table>
	<tr>
                   <td>Login ID:</td><td><input name="LoginID" type="text" id="LoginID" size="20" </td>
             </tr>
             <tr>
                   <td>Password:</td><td><input name="Pwd" type="text" id="Pwd" size="20" </td>
             </tr>

    hello,
    you must make a registered session like as :

    
$valid=$_REQUEST["LoginID"];
session_register('valid');
    PHP:
    then you can called it :

    
$_SESSION['valid']

    Actually, the problem is with this bit:
    
<?php 
	 session_start();
              echo $_SESSION[‘LoginID'];
              echo $_SESSION[‘Pwd'];

?>
    PHP:
    You're using a backtick ( ` ) instead of an apostrophe ( ' ). IE `LoginId' needs to be 'LoginId'
