Dears,

I would like to create a session in the user form to send the User_id from the form to outside PHP page.
How to do this.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

It is generally not recommended to use PHP sessions within the WordPress environment, as it can result in performance, cache, and security challenges.

If your goal is to perform certain actions using the user's ID, after the user form is submitted, you can use the Toolset Forms API hooks instead:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
