Re: Problem with session vars !

It not related to database. Anyway, If you use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS, forget about session_(un)register(). (Do not use them) Just use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. It's known issue. (If you use global vars, only use global vars and use session_(un)register()) Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki ""Nicolas Guilhot"" <nguilhot@gphy.campus.univ-poitiers.fr> wrote in message news:NEBBLNMCKLOGFKNONHDAAEBKCBAA.nguilhot@gphy.campus.univ-poitiers.fr... > I am having problem with PHP4 session variables.
