I'm having a difficult time understanding the $_SESSION function in PHP. I'm building a multipage form and when it was a single form, everything worked as expected. Now I'm trying to figure out $_SESSION so that data from page1 carries to page2 for the submit.
So here is page 1:
<?php require_once("../tim/includes/validation_functions.php");
include("../tim/includes/session.php");
require_once("../tim/includes/variables.php");
include ("/testing/tim/obervation-upload.php");
?>
<?php
session_start(); // Session starts here.
?>

You'll see on the processing page my little test of

this would obviously be removed when working.
