Re: PHP Sessions Problem

Thats very interesting. I normally use Netscape 4.7 myself, I find 6 to be a resource hog and just plain slow. I tried your site and as you pointed out, with 4.7 the registered var does not show. Yet, when I fire up IE all works fine. I guess what I find strange is that I am using sessions on a site I am working on right now. I have cookies off since I was getting strange behavior depending on OS and browser so I opted just to pass SID with URL as well. I register a handfull of session vars and on my site everything works fine with all the browsers (4.7 included).
