Re: is this syntax correct?

I think many users are confusing about PHP4 session. I thought this info might be useful for someone. There are 3 ways to start PHP4 session. (as far as I know) 1) Using php.ini: "session.auto_start = 1" to automatically start session for any request. 2) Using session_start(): Explicitly start PHP4 session with "session_start()" 3) Using session functions: Implicitly start PHP4 session with "session_register()" If you are having trouble with PHP4 session, set "error_reporting = E_ALL" in php.ini. Is there any other way to start PHP4 session?
