I *THINK* $HTTP_SESSION_VARS is already a global by nature, and by declaring it global, you are then accessing some other $HTTP_SESSION_VARS (an empty one) and possibly confusing PHP4 irreparably when it tries to access it. Does that make sense? Well, try it without the HTTP_SESSION_VARS in the global statement anyway. It shouldn't crash, so it's still a bug, but you may be able to get on with your life while we fix it :-) THANKS!!! -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
