Re: Switching from "Register_Globals=On"

Thanks Matt, Actually, at this point, I've reverted back to "register_globals=on" until I figure out what's the best way to do this. So far, I have no references to "session_register() on any page. In your opinion, should I go with "$_SESSION" or use the other approach, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS". I gather I've some fun ahead with #3! If I use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS", will I still need to do this?
