Re: session_register()

This is bad, bad, bad. I tried using another browser as you suggested (since I was using Netscape 4.7) and the session_register worked. I still got different results than you though.

I increased the permissions to be world writable and it had no effect. Thank you for helping me find the problem, now I just wish there was an easy solution. Arggggggg. Jennifer
