Browser Persistent Data with PHP - Final Quiz

Hey just wondering if anyone can help me out with one of the Final Quiz questions.

QUESTION: How can one access the session variable named "treehouse"?

I've tried imputing: session_start(); and setcookie

but I just get "Bummer! Unfortunately, that answer is incorrect." What am I missing? I've re watched the proceeding videos multiple times but I just can't work out what the answer is.

I guess you can access session like this $_SESSION['treehouse']

Make sure you have start_session(); at the beginning.

You can access the $_SESSION superglobal like a normal array. E.g $_SESSION['treehouse']

Great! Thanks to both of you for pointing me in the right direction. My mistake was imputing '$_SESSION' without adding the array to the end. Ashu Singh has the correct syntax as Matthew Lang's code is missing the underscore ..but still very helpful, Thank you.
