Session variable not passing to another page

Question

Why my session variable is not passing between these 2 pages?

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["test"]= "12345";
echo "<a href='8.php'>move to another page</a>";
?>

second webpage 2.php

<?php
echo $_SESSION["test"];
?>

The session variable is empy in the second page

You should also use session_start() in second page

you need to set session_start() on every page on which you want to see $_SESSION array. It is nice to have one file in which you will set session_start() and include it on every page on which you want to use sessions.
