Handling a session

I am not an expert in php and I want to do the following.

I have three views index, step1 and step2

In index view I have an input for a website link, I also have a function which grab some data (name, price, details) from the website and display it on step1. Here I have some other inputs, but I want to post name, price and details in my session so I can get them to step2 without using any inputs.

I tried $name = $_SESSION['name']; and on step2 I tried to display it

 echo $_SESSION['step1']['name'];

But I think this isn't the solution. I hope I made my self clear.

Solution

  • Store value from $name to $_SESSION['name']:

    $_SESSION['name'] = $name;

    Echoing content of the session-variable:

    echo $_SESSION['name'];

    Easy as that!
