One way would be to create a file like this:

<?
// company_info.php
$_SESSION['company_name'] = "My Company";
$_SESSION['company_addr1'] = "1 Main St.";
etc.
etc.
etc.

Then - in your startup script (or in every script), use an include 
statement:

<?php
session_start();
include($path_to_includes."/company_info.php");


Now you will have those SESSION vars available for the entire session, 
basically until you close your browser.

You can also use the php.ini auto-prepend setting, which automatically 
does this for you, altho the vars would not be session vars, since the 
prepend-ed file happens before your script issues the session_start (I 
think).
