The way that I fixed it was to pass $HTTP_SESSION_VARS to the function in one of two ways. (1) Pass the array as part of the function call: session_authentication($HTTP_SESSION_VARS); function session_authentication($HTTP_SESSION_VARS) { // Function Code... } (2) Pass the array as a global variable: function session_authentication() { global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; // Function Code... } Personally, I like example #2 better. IMHO, I think that this keeps the code cleaner, and keeps me from having to remember which variables need to be passed to the function in what order. Hope this helps, Chesley
