Re: Sessions

Brian/Ray, That's not how sessions work. A registered variable's value is saved at the end of the script, not when it is registered. Look at these 2 scripts: session1.php <?php session_start(); $x="Empty"; session_register("x"); $x="Full"; header("Location: session2.php"); ?> session2.php <?php session_start(); echo("x = $x"); ?> The result of calling session1.php in my browser is x = Full This would not be true if a variable's value was saved when it was registered instead of at the end of the script.
