Re: sessions and registering variables ..

ok .. I have sussed it ... *smile* session_register only registeres the variable as session applicable .. I don't have to unregister to do anything to it ... you can still manipulate it as a normal variable .. just that the session keeps track of the current value .. so the correct way to do this is : session_start(); // if I want to clear the value .. uncomment following line // $test=""; switch ($test){ case "yes": session_name("test"); session_register($test); print "$test"; break; case "no": session_register($test); print"$test"; break; default: print" $test <br><br> <a href=\"index.php3\">yes</a> <a href=\"index.php3\">no</a> "; break; --------------------- that solves my testing .. but i'm still having some trouble ... but I'll try and get around it .. if not ..
