Re: sessions failing to persist

If the sample of code is the whole page... where do you actually start your session? I didn't see a session_start() anywhere. AFAIK the $_SESSION var doesn't exist until you do just that. session_is_registered(): mabe I'm reading the documentation wrong, but I interpret this function as checking whether there is the global var (in this case $stage) ... and since register_globals is off there shouldn't be such a var automatically any more. .. In the user comments there's a good example of how to handle sessions. http://www.php.net/session_is_registered#26464 hth Richard Monday, May 3, 2004, 6:40:18 AM, thus was written: > As I posted last week, I seem unable to have sessions persist.
