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.

    hello,
    you must make a registered session like as :

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

    
$_SESSION['valid']
    PHP:

    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'
