Actually, Anjali is right on this one, so long as (s)he's using a PHP version that defines the $_SESSION array; in this case, it's actually recommended to use only the $_SESSION array, and not use session_register at all. That said, I can't see anything wrong with the original scripts posted, so the obvious questions are: (1) are you sure you're using a recent version that supports the $_* superglobals arrays? (2) If so, please show how you're reaching 2.php from 1.php. Cheers!
