Passing variables between pages

Hi I am trying to implement a two step approach to addding data to a table, for example in my table companies...

I have created 2 PHP pages, called step 1 and step 2, step 1 collects basic information like company name, then the idea is step 2 will collect more specific information like address.

When I save my step 1 page, it redirects to step 2, but I cant figure out how to pass some form of session variable so that page 2 knows what the companyid is.

any ideas

How to store data in a $_SESSION :

First of all make sure session_start() has been called on top of your page.

Store the value in the session:

$_SESSION['paramX'] = 'X';

How to get the $_SESSION variable:

$paramX = $_SESSION['paramX']

A tip to check what's in $_SESSION:

var_dump($_SESSION);

OR

print_r($_SESSION);

save it in a SESSION variable in page1 use this 

session_start();
$_SESSION['id']= $id; //the id to pass

and in the page2 you can access $_SESSION['id'] directly
