The other option is, if register_globals is on, to make $foo and $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo'] references pointing to the same value (well, one points to the other; I don't _think_ it matters which). However it's solved, it'd be _really_ nice if at the very least, code written for the register_globals Off case worked all the time, since that's the more portable option anyway. -chuck -- Charles Hagenbuch, <chuck@horde.org> Black and white and grey, all the shades of truth.
