Re: SESSION variables: How much is too much?

Thanks guys. I was just wondering if it was common practice to pass all those variables in the SESSION object or if I was following a bad example because it was the first time that I had seen so many variables passed this way. If this is the typical way of handling this in php then I don't have a problem with it, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't getting off to a bad start and picking up bad habits while learning php.
