Creating a session variable with PHP

[Jugdish]

Can anyone offer me a PHP script that creates a session variable? The Dreamweaver CS3 Help documentation offers coding samples for ColdFusion and ASP but not for PHP. I tried this without success:
"$_SESSION['usermail']= $_POST['sub_email'];" in which I am trying to capture an email address from a form and save it to use in a confirmation email to a new subscriber. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

I use this -

<?php

if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}
?>

at the top of the page, and then this within the code block where you are
processing the form's data -

$_SESSION['usermail']= $_POST['sub_email'];
