The current documentation on the use of $_SESSION in favour of session_register() omits to mention
that registering your variables in the manner:
$_SESSION['cheese']='salmon';
does *NOT* implicitly start a session in the way that you might expect:
session_register($cheese);
to. This is not mentioned in the documentation, and the statement about not mixing use of $_SESSION
and older session functions leads you to believe it should be handled automagically. In fact you
must explicitly call session_start() before you assign/retrieve values to/from $_SESSION, eg:
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedIn']))
{
$_SESSION['loggedIn']=false;
}
elseif ($_SESSION['loggedIn'])
{
#Extra code if user logged in
}
