How can we create a session in php?

A PHP session stores information about a user on the server, so you can use it on many pages. Start it with session_start() and save the data in the $_SESSION array.

<?php
// page1.php
session_start();

$_SESSION["username"] = "Robin";

echo "Session created.";
?>
<?php
// page2.php
session_start();

echo "Hello " . $_SESSION["username"];
?>

Output:

When page2.php is opened after page1.php

Hello Robin

Call session_start() at the top of every page that uses the session, before any output. Read PHP Session for login examples and security.
