In PHP, you can store a variable using the session by using the $_SESSION superglobal array. Here's an example:



// Start the session
session_start();

// Set a variable in the session
$_SESSION['variable_name'] = 'value';

// Access the variable from the session
$variable_value = $_SESSION['variable_name'];
In this example, session_start() initializes the session, and $_SESSION['variable_name'] = 'value' sets the value of the variable 'variable_name' to 'value' in the session.


You can then access the variable from the session using $_SESSION[ 'variable_name']. In this example, $variable_valu e would be set to 'value'.

Note that you need to call session_start() at the beginning of your PHP script to initialize the session and make the $_SESSION superglobal array available.

Also, make sure that the session is started before any output is sent to the browser. You can call session_start() at the beginning of your script before any HTML tags or other output.
