How to use session in PHP with variables

Question

I am new in PHP. I want to use session with variable. Its my first experience to play with session. I create 4 pages.

1. is session1.php

<?php
 session_start();
$_SESSION['UserID']='1';
?>

2. is session.php

<?php

 // starts session
 session_start();
 if($_SESSION['UserID']='1')
{
    header("location: user.php");
    }
    if($_SESSION['UserID']='2')
{
    header("location: mang.php");
    }
?>

3.user.php

<?php

echo "This is User page";
?>

4.mang.php

<?php
echo "This is manager page";
?>

In my code there is problem of IF condition. My IF condition is not working. Can you guys please help to sort out my problem.

It's usually helpful when you say "my (blank) is not working" if you explain what it is or isn't doing; If it's giving an error, tell us the error! — Daymon Schroeder

In IF you have to use Comparison operator not assignment operator change $_SESSION['UserID']='2' to $_SESSION['UserID']=='2' — Bruce

change

if($_SESSION['UserID']='1') and if($_SESSION['UserID']='2')

to

if($_SESSION['UserID']=='1') and if($_SESSION['UserID']=='2')

And also you have started session in session1.php , so no need to start the session again in session.php

Final Output

<?php

 include ("session1.php");

 if($_SESSION['UserID']=='1')
 {
    header("location: user.php");
    exit;
 }
 if($_SESSION['UserID']=='2')
 {
    header("location: mang.php");
    exit;
 }
