Re: Session Variables in a Class

Thanks Curt, You were absolutely correct. Removing the session_register() lines before the $_SESSION[] fixed the problem. By mixing the two before, it actually would register the variable so I could later test for the registered session variable but it did not retain the value I assigned it. Thanks again for the help.
