This is specifically for checking the existence of a session variable. I would do something like <?php // need this on all pages where you want to work with // the session var session_start(); // Check for the existence of the session var and create // it if it doesn't exist if (!session_is_registered("ses_username")) { session_register("ses_username"); } // Are we getting a form var thru ? if so pop it into the session var if (isset($frm_username)) { $ses_username = $frm_username; } // then in your scripts you can do do_my_amazing_function($ses_username); ?> As long as you have session_start() at the beginning of each script, $ses_username is now available across scripts. <snip> > $value=$_HTTP_SESSION_VARS['your_variable_name']; //get the value > }else{ > $_HTTP_SESSION_VARS['your_variable_name']=new value; > } > </snip> Hope that helps. -- Ronan e: ronan@thelittledot.com t: 01903 739 997 w: www.thelittledot.com The Little Dot is a partnership of Ronan Chilvers and Giles Webberley
