Jason, again, I RTFM, but did not get it working.
Otherwise I wouldn't have dared ask a question.

The FM manual says:
"$_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less) is recommended"
So I am using "PHP Version 4.1.2" (and "4.2.3" on my localhost to test offline)
Ok. I quit using $HTTP_POST_VARS["familyname"].
With a little rethinking, I have this working, I hope.
Now ... is there a cleaner way to assign my variable "familyname"?
Pseudo code:
if _post["familyname"] exists set session variable
(no sense in setting it until I post it)
if _session["familyname"] exists, $familyname = $_SESSION["familyname"];
I'll have about 30 variables. Going to be alot of lines. There must be an easier, cleaner way?
<?php
#session_name("TestALS");
session_start();
if (isset($_POST["familyname"]))
{
session_register("familyname");
$familyname = $_POST["familyname"];
echo "Yay: \$familyname= $familyname<br>";
}
if (isset($_SESSION["familyname"]))
{
$familyname = $_SESSION["familyname"];
echo "yay session works, \$familyname= $familyname<br>";
}
