I am beginning to learn php. I have a question regarding sessions.

Right now, I know that session_start() creates a session variable.

What I don’t know is, when I access the session I created, do I need to use session_start() again?

If yes…

Why is this? Because I already created a session and I wonder why it wouldn’t last the entire browsing session.

    because what i understand from it is, that it is going to create a new session.

    No:

    session_start() creates a session or resumes the current one based on a session identifier passed via a GET or POST request, or passed via a cookie.

    http://php.net/session_start

    Each new page you visit is an entirely new context for PHP. session_start allows you to reestablish a previous context/session/data.
