Re: why manual says 'don't use session_register'?

if you have register globals off, then use the $_SESSION array. // set the value of a session var: $_SESSION['foo'] = "bah"; // test to see if a session var is set if(isset($_SESSION['foo'])) { ... } // unset / unregister a session var unset($_SESSION['foo']); The older functions still work, but are not reliable, according to the manual. I much prefer working with $_SESSION, because session_register() was a little counter-intuitive (IMO), and now doesn't work like the rest of the superglobal arrays ($_POST, $_GET, etc). If you have register globals off, I recommend working the new way.
