Re: sessions... unexpected behavior

Richard, thanks for your reply. However, your proposal doesn't scratch my itch - I need sessions working correctly in an environment where register_globals is OFF. The manual doesn't mention you can't use sessions in such an env, and I don't believe this is intended behavior.
