Accessing session variable in second php page

Question

My first php file is basic.php

   <?php
       session_start();
   ?>

   <html>
       <body>
       <a href="basic2.php? name=qadeerhussain"> click on it</a>
           <?php 
               $_session['username']="qadeerhussain";
               print $_session['username'];
           ?>
       </body>
   </html>

Out put of basic.php is: click on it qadeerhussain my second basic2.php page is

   <?php
       session_start();
   ?>
   <html>
       <body>   
           <?php 
               print $_SESSION['username'];
           ?>
       </body>
   </html>

but it give me the following exception:

Notice: Undefined index: username in C:\wamp\www\test\basic2.php on line 12

PHP variables are case-sensitive: $_session is not $_SESSION. — BlitZ

your session variable should be named $_SESSION not $_session

PHP variables are case-sensitive.So replace $_session to $_SESSION
