Re: Session variable under PHP 4.0.6

Thanks that works in my testing example. But why? The manual says: Caution If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use session_register(), session_is_registered() and session_unregister(). But in index2.php I am using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS and it works?! Need a bit of clarification since my actual app still doesn't work!
