im new to sessions but from what i see it complicated to apply <input> with them. can you please look at this code and tell me why its not working. i had it working earlier then it died on me. the function of the program is to fill out a form and have it verified for legit information using regular expressions, i just need help with getting the sessions to save the data.
<?php session_start(); ?>
