Am I missing something!? The newest PHP versions, 4.1 and 4.2 have changed the Session model in a way not compatible with previous versions. Currently the recommendation is to use $_SESSION to store and access all session variables. But the current version also by default has track_vars enabled and register_globals disabled. So it says here in this manual: "If track_vars is enabled and register_globals is disabled, only members of the global associative array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS can be registered as session variables. The restored session variables will only be available in the array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS." So, doesn't this mean that $_SESSION shouldn't be used with the default case? The whole explanation of sessions in this latest manual version is very lacking in useful examples and clear explanation IMHO. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23634 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23634 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23634
