I am not sure what I have to do in order to control sessions in PHP 4.33 when globals are set to off. I used to use the following function to check if the user was of admin status; function check_admin_user() // see if somebody is logged in as admin and notify them if not { global $admin_user; if ( (session_is_registered("admin_user")) && (isset($admin_user)) )
    return true;
else
    return false;
} 
Then in my protected pages I would say; if (check_admin_user()) // if you're an admin user display the following { Session_register("admin_user"); // Do admin functions } Else { //Do login form } How do I adapt the check_admin_user() function and the pages to work in 4.33?
