Er, nope. If you have a version of PHP with the $_SESSION array, then you use it for both setting *and* retrieving -- session_register() and friends should *not* be used in this case. (Indeed, there are circumstances where the combination of session_register() with $_SESSION gives broken behaviour.) Cheers!
