Use session variable in footer

Is it possible to show the value of a session variable in the footer?
I am wanting to show the database name in the footer.
I tried using <?php echo $SESSION["dbname"] ?> but it didn't work. I loaded the database name in the variable at successful login.
Probably something stupid I'm missing.
Thanks
Alan

Hello,
I think you have made a syntactic PHP mistake.
Try to put:
...... $_SESSION['dbname'] .....

The following should work:
<?php echo $_SESSION["dbname"] ?>If it doesn't, you need to refer to this article that explains how to access PHPRunner session variables in external files.
