i want to know if after i store a value in the $_SESSION, can i access it several times in different files?? for example i stored a value: $_SESSION['login']="Fred"

for example: b.php

<?php
session_start();
$uname=$_SESSION['login'];
?>

c.php

<?php

$uname=$_SESSION['login'];
?>

Yes your session will be available for each request from the same browser instance. if some where you are not getting it may be there session storage path is different for those files

Yes. The $_SESSION variable will persist between PHP files, unless it expires or you destroy the session. In the most common server configurations this requires a cookie to save the session ID, so make sure those are enabled.
