That code is a bit of a mess. Start by adding [error reporting](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/845021/how-to-get-useful-error-messages-in-php/845025#845025) to the top of your file(s) _while testing_ right after your opening PHP tag for example ` — RiggsFolly, Apr 19 '17 at 17:44

I think your logic is wrong here. What exactly are you checking in the if statement. A session variable means you can use it on every page that has session_start(); on top.

Sessions by default pass to other pages. Make sure you have start_session(); on top of the page you want to access the session variable.

So if $_SESSION['usermail'] is working on your current page, it'll work on your next as well with same data.

@brij if you write the session_start(); function top of your code, session will exactly working. – Vimukthi Guruge Apr 19 '17 at 17:53
i write this. nothing show any error. but not show session value on the second page. – Brij Sharma Apr 19 '17 at 17:56
i have value in $_SESSION['usermail'] in first page just i want to print on second page. – Brij Sharma Apr 19 '17 at 18:09
if you set `$_SESSION['usermail']= 'some value'` exactly you can access on another page. every page should has `session_start();` on the top. can you put the code of that page.? – Vimukthi Guruge Apr 19 '17 at 18:14

You can use GET methods for sharing your session value to next page...

if(isset($_POST['compair']))
{

echo $_SESSION['question'];
 $_SESSION['usermail'];
$answer=$_POST['answer'];
if ($answer ==  $_SESSION['answer'])
{
     $value_to_share=$_SESSION['usermail']; // You can share using GET
     header("Location:resetpass.php?value=$value_to_share"); 
    // receive this value at resetpass.php by $_GET['value'] 

}
else
{
     echo "<script>alert('Please Try again')</script>";

}

}
