one more question please

I have it working and have it setup like this

<option value="<? echo $folder?>"><?echo $folder?></option>

then when it passes it to the new page I do this

$series = $_POST['series'];

it works so far
But I need to keep this value through the next page so I do this
$_SESSION['num1'] = $series;

and I make sure to use my
session_start();

the problem is it does not keep this value when it goes onto the next script

it basically works like this

series.php
chapter.php
page.php

I am not getting the session to work to keep the value at page.php
