RE: [PHP] I don't understand HTTP_SESSION_VARS

Hi Kirk, I'm not sure that's how it is supposed to work. I really think that this is a PHP bug. I had to turn register globals back on in order to get my code working again. I thought you're supposed to be able to simply declare a variable, do a session_register on it, and then access it on subsequent pages using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. I'm going to keep register globals on for now I think. Thanks for your help! Mike > Mike, my experiments suggest you can also get rid of the session_register() > statement.
