As you sit there and wait for us to answer, you could have taken the 5
second to run this yourself and test it.
If register_globals is ON, then yes, that's how you do it. You may want to
actually assign a value to $magazine and $company in the first script,
though, if you want to see any results.
If register_globals is OFF, then you should do it this way:
Page 1:
session_start();
$_SESSION['magazine'] = 'some value';
$_SESSION['company'] = 'some other value';
Page 2:
<?php session_start(); ?>
Magazine: <?php echo $_SESSION['magazine']; ?>
Company: <?php echo $_SESSION['company']; ?>
