I cant access my variable values of the session from another page.
<?php
session_start();
require_once 'config/db.php';
$errors=array();
$username="";
$email="";
if(isset($_POST['signup-btn'])){
$username=$_POST['username'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$passwordConf=$_POST['passwordConf'];
if(empty($username)){
$errors['username']="Username required";
}
if(!filter_var($email,FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
$errors['email']="Email address is invalid!";
}
if(empty($email)){
$errors['email']="Email required";
}
if(empty($password)){
$errors['password']="Password required";
}
if($password !== $passwordConf){
$errors['password']="The two passwords do not match";
}
$emailQuery = "select * from users where email=? limit 1";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($emailQuery);
$stmt->bind_param('s',$email);
$stmt->execute();
$result=$stmt->get_result();
$userCount=$result->num_rows;
$stmt->close();
if($userCount > 0){
$errors['email'] = "Email already exists";
}
if(count($errors)===0){
$password = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
$token = bin2hex(random_bytes(50));
$verified = false;
$sql = "insert into users(username,email,verified,token,password)values(?,?,?,?,?)";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param('ssiss',$username,$email,$verified,$token,$password);
if($stmt->execute()){
$user_id = $conn->insert_id;
$SESSION['id']= $user_id;
$SESSION['username']=$username;
$SESSION['email']=$email;
$SESSION['verified']=$verified;
$_SESSION['message']="You are now logged in!";
$_SESSION['alert-class']="alert-success";
header('location:index.php');
exit();
}
else{
$errors['db_error'] = "Database error: failed to register";
}
}
}
This is my index file below
<?php require_once 'controllers/authController.php'; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<h3>Welcome, <?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?></h3>
<a href="#" class="logout">logout</a>
<?php if(!$_SESSION['verified']): ?>
<div class="alert alert-warning">
You need to verify your account.
Sign in to your email account and click on the verification link we just emailed you at
<?php echo $_SESSION['email']; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($_SESSION['verified']): ?>
<button class="btn btn-block btn-lg btn-primary">I am verified!</button>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
