Answered $_session not storing between snippets?

    Sure there is a very simple answer to this (but I hope there isn't smiley, but I cant seem to make a session variable available to another snippet.

    The code is as follows:

    	$_session['searchResult'] = $_POST['search'];
	echo '<p>Session search = ' . $_session['searchResult'] . '</p>';


    This works fine as running the snippet echo's out search.

    The next part follows as per below where I am using href to call a snippet to delete a row in the database:

    <a href="[[~[[*id]]? &callid=`[[+callid]]` &diallednumber=`[[diallednumber]]']]"><button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>


    Where the following snippet picks up on the $_GET

    if(isset($_GET['callid'])){
        $id = $_GET['callid'];
	$deleteRow = $modx->myDB->getObject('LogData',array('callid' => $id));
	echo $id . '<p> has been deleted</p>';
	echo '<p>Session search = ' . $_session['searchResult'] . '</p>';
   return;
};


    But I get the following error:

    Notice: Undefined variable: _session in /home/sites/paradoxal.co.uk/public_html/nhs/core/cache/includes/elements/modsnippet/25.include.cache.php on line 18

    Reading various posts I beleive I have done things correctly, also followed bobs guide http://bobsguides.com/modx-snippet-faq.html under 'How can I save a variable in a snippet so other snippets can use it?'

    Thanks in advance

      $_SESSION, not $_session.
