Answer 1

As Helge Helwig said,

you need to add session_start() in the top of every page. However, to make this easier, you can create a PHP document, where you store all vital code like this, and call it; say init.php.

Then you can include 'init.php' at the top of every page, which would clean up the code a bit.
