Re: I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS

I'm trying this and it's still not working. Here is my code in 2 files, write_sess.php and read_sess.php. I've been trying to figure this out all day. /* WRITE_SESS.PHP */ <?php function write_session() { global $my_session_var, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; session_start(); $my_session_var = "Boogedy Boogedy"; session_register($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['my_session_var']); } write_session(); ?> <HTML> <BODY> <a href = "read_sess.php"> Read Session Variable </a> </BODY> </HTML> /* READ_SESS.PHP */ <?php session_start(); ?> <HTML> <BODY> <?php function read_session() { global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; return $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['my_session_var']; } print"Session Variable: ". read_session(); ?> </BODY> </HTML> Here is my php.ini file: /*** PHP Initialization File ***/ asp_tags=true include_path=.:/ora9ias/Apache/Apache/php auto_prepend_file=cisweb_global.inc session.gc_maxlifetime=14400 session.gc_probability=10 session.name=CIS_SECURE_SESSION register_globals off track_vars on I'm so confused why I can't get this working.
