OK, the PHP education continues. I need to set a variable on page X then later on Page Y use that variable. In ASP I’d assign the value to a Session variable, but I cannot find an equivalent PHP contruct in my PHP books or in my search of this site. There has to be something similar and I’m just not calling it by the right name in order to find it.

H E L P, please?
