Re: Re: Using sessions with register globals off

Ok, with register globals on, this works ('order' being a php object): session_name('name'); session_register('order'); $order->print_something(); With with register globals off, this fails: session_name('name'); $order = $_SESSION['order']; $order->print_something(); Get the errors: PHP Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_something() Meaning the _SESSION arr is not recognized and the $order obj variable has not been passed.
