I finally figured it out from the sources, though I had some fun guessing what those LOTSOFUNDOCUMENTEDMACROS do :) But isn't that inconsistent? Just a though. Wouldn't it be much simpler to have someting like session_register('registration.name',$variable), and session_get ('registration.name') [ returning a reference] ? And BTW, you said it will save the global variable $foo, which is IIRC the same as $GLOBALS['foo']. So basically it choses between HTTP_SESSION_VARS and GLOBALS to look for `foo'(depending of settings) is that correct? -- teodor
