Re: Session hell: register_globals off

Solved my main problem. I was assuming that variables registered with $_SESSION were passed by reference. Apparently they're passed by value. I moved the line '$_SESSION['order'] = $order;' from the top of the page 1 php code (before any properties for the order object are set), to the end of the php code -- now everything's getting passed to page 2 ok. This is an important point that should probably be in the docs section on sessions. When I coded using session_register() with register_globals on registering the variable before making changes to it worked. The '[error] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION' happened, I think, because there were no session variables to pass so PHP killed the session. > Had a previous thread on this issue.
