Filtering by session variable in PHP

[griffin2001]

Hopefully, this will be a simple question. I have recently switched over to a
PHP/mysql platform from CF and am simply trying to filter a recordset with a
session variable. I have the session set up (on a login page) and I know it is
carrying over to the next page but I am obviously making an error in syntax
when I add in the filter because it will come up with no data returned. In CF
I can just filter in simple mode with seesion = username MM_username, obviously
in PHP this does not work as it flips to advanced mode with a variable called
'colname' (I believe - I am not on my DW computer right now). So, if someone
could tell me what I need to change in the advanced recordset to make the
session variable filter work it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

if the variable is on the next page, and not there later.. are you sure you are
not looking at a Request variable and not a session variable. The Request
object will be there in the next page but will dissapear after that.. You may
need to do the PHP equivilant of Session('varname')=Request('varname') to
persist it beyond the next page.

It does show as a session variable and when it goes to the next page you can
see that it is carrying it over - if I do not filter it I can pull the records
up on the next page. However, when I add in the filter to get only one user's
information it comes back as no data returned. Thanks for your input!
