So I'm starting my own website and I have the login file pretty much made. I just need to figure out where to put the session_start to keep the user logged in. Where exactly do I put the session_start? Do I put it right in the login file? Or where do I put it?
Thanks for the help

php and put there all your repetitive code including session_start(); Show activity on this post. Anything that is going to access Session variables needs to start the session. So unless you have a php page that is non-dependent on the session than every page needs it.
session_start() creates a session or resumes the current one based on a session identifier passed via a GET or POST request, or passed via a cookie. When session_start() is called or when a session auto starts, PHP will call the open and read session save handlers.
session_destroy() destroys all of the data associated with the current session. It does not unset any of the global variables associated with the session, or unset the session cookie. To use the session variables again, session_start() has to be called. Note: You do not have to call session_destroy() from usual code.
Put it after your PHP start tag <?php ... like this
<?php
session_start();
//... your code....
//more code....
Read more on sessions from the PHP Manual. Here
Note : Also keep in mind, you need to call session_start(); on each and every page if you are making use of session variables.
