session_start in an include()

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

If I call session_id and session_start in an include .php file do I have to call them again the the parent .php file in order to use session vars in the parent file?

How about in another include file from the same parent?

Thanks!

<i>
</i>&lt;?php
session_start();
?&gt;

a side page name side.php contains this:
<i>
</i>&lt;?php
echo "Your username is: ".$_SESSION['username'];
?&gt;

and this is the parent file:
<i>
</i>&lt;?php
include("header.php");
echo "Your session Id is: ".session_id();
include("side.php");
?&gt;


Note that if you re-declare the session_start() in the parent file, or in the side file, you will get a header error ?
