</table>

By clicking this "Open Profile" i want to redirect and open a profile in the location but
in page "profile-page.php" i using session redirect if no session.

Q1- Can i pass a session value in parameter if yes then how?

Why in URL? Why not POST parameters?

Solution 1

First of all you can send session variable. you will have to embed them with your url, but you can't automatically expect that your session to get automatically.
the possible solution, as example:

HTML

<table >
  <tr>
     <td >
          <a href='http://www.mywebsite.com/profile-page.php?reg_id=$r1&username=<?=$_SESSION['user_name']?>' target='_blank'>Open Profile</a>
     </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Hi,
Coz i check that it redirected to home page and how the session will open in that page.
thanks

Alright, here is in detail:

Send your Session value as parameter
as example:
href='http://www.whateversite.com?session_id=<?=session_id()?>'

in your redirecting page: set
$_COOKIE['PHPSESSID']=$_GET['session_id'];
session_start();
make sure your session live long enough to be access by the email recipient.

And finally this is a bad idea. don't do it.

Create a database entry and send a certain value as data to email. when user will click the link verify it.
