then you must be resetting it unknowingly or the else block in your
if..else statement is not being executed like you are expecting it to
be.
one thing i do to debug this kind of thing is to add some echo
statements to the different code blocks to see what's happening. for
example:
if($expression)
{
echo "here i am!";
blow_up_world();
}
else
{
echo "y hello thar!";
eat_cheese();
}
then when i execute the page i know what i am expecting and i can
compare that to what i am *actually* getting. for example, if i am
expecting to see "here i am!" but instead i see "y hello thar!" i can
know that something is going wrong with my expression.
hth,
