Session. Variable won't pass at the next page

So I'm about to pass a variable at a second page. I tested the session at the top of my index page for me to know if session contains a variable. Like this:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
session_start();
$UserID = $_SESSION['CustNum'];
$UserN = $_SESSION['UserName'];
echo "$UserN";
?>

It's totally ok for the index page. It really prints the username. But when it comes to the next page where I'll pass the variable I tried the same code to see if the session contains something. But then, there's none. Help please. Also, these codes are both above my codes, above all else.

According to your comment and code:

if($numrows === 1){ $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)or die ('Unable to run query:'.mysql_error());
// fetch associated: get function from a query for a database
$dbpass = $row['PassWord']; // read password of inputted user from the query.
$dbuser = $row['UserName']; // read username  from the query
$dbactive = $row['Active']; // read if user is active $dbid = $row['CustNum'];

if($UserP == $dbpass){ if($dbactive == 1){ //set session information
    $_SESSION['CustNum'] = $dbid;
    $_SESSION['UserName'] = $dbuser;
}

..i suppose this: if($UserP == $dbpass){ if($dbactive == 1) is false. Check it.

please try this method

in the first page

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

session_start();

$_SESSION['CustNum']='12345';

$_SESSION['UserName']='sivanthi';

in the another page

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

session_start();

echo $_SESSION['CustNum'];

echo $_SESSION['UserName'];

Do you declare a session_start() on your other page ?

And you need to initialize $_SESSION['UserName']somewhere.

Just like this $_SESSION['UserName'] = "my_username"

Where is:

$_SESSION['CustNum'] = 'xxx';
$_SESSION['UserName'] = 'yyy';

?
