Ok. Just realised that you might have meant that I need that
session_start(); statement on the first line of every page?

Already got that one on the very first line of the initial (index.php)
page,
and I am assigning an array element in that first page, which seems to
work
fine.

Jacob,
You must issue a session_start() prior to outputting any code to the
browser for sessions to work. There are tons of different ways to
configure things, but session_start() as the first thing in the script
should get you started. Here is a basic example:
index.php:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['test_me'] = 'My test $_SESSION variable'; // stores a value
in the $_SESSION array
?>
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=page2.php">
</head></html>
################## End of index.php ##################
page2.php:
<?php
session_start()
?>
<html><head><title>Page 2</title></head><body>
<?php
echo $_SESSION['test_me'];
?>
</body></html>
################# End of page2.php #######################
The index.php page simply stores a value in the $_SESSION super global
array and then immediately redirects to page2.php. page2.php retrieves
the value stored by index.php and displays it as the content of the web
page.
This code is all from memory so it might have a bug, but it is how I got
started working with session support in PHP.
Thanks,
James

the
session variable/array element had actually been set, and, for whatever
reason, no PHP code seems to be executing in main.php.
Below is what I currently have inbetween the <body></body> tags:
<? php
echo "testing...";
?>
Before I was trying to do something along the lines of:
echo $_SESSION["admin"];
And that also did nothing.
I also tried changing the static HTML content to see if maybe the output
was
just being cached or something, but that renders correctly.
Any ideas? (am I just not 'trying' correctly or something)
