Re: sessions

Rather than bothering with SID whos existance is uncertain, use the variable $PHPSESSID. It's set whenever you use session_start, to my knowledge. The simplest method, and the only one I am aware of, of accessing session variables globally is by explicitly declaring them global in your function. It's also the best way to do it, as it may take extra typing when declaring your function, but it makes it alot more readable and bug-free. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
