If you use it, session_register will *always* return true. So, what does "session_register() returnes true only when the variable is successfully registered" mean? Can a variable be registered but the session handling routine not write it to whatever the backend-storage mechanism is? This seems wrong to me (because then when the user goes to another web page, the variable will *not* be available). -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)
