Re: session data missing

ok, so now the variable names are registred and stored in the file. But without values. check this: --firstpage.php---- session_start() session_register('foo'); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo'] = 'bar'; echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo']; //outputs bar; transport by a href to: ----secondpage.php---- session_start(); echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo']; //outputs nothing --- checking the contents of the file called /tmp/sess_{session_id}: !foo| I guess it should be something like !foo=bar| but, as I said, the values doesnt seem to stick in the file, just the names of the variables. I must be doing something wrong.
