As of PHP 4.2.0 a variable must be global not only for registering them inside a function but for session_start() to set them inside a function too. Example: // Somewhere. session_register("aVariable"); // Another php file latter on. function foo() { session_start(); if(!isset($aVariable)) { echo("Unset"); } Will return Unset... you need to global it: // Another php file latter on. function foo() { global $aVariable; session_start(); if(!isset($aVariable)) { echo("Unset"); } Will not return (print) anything so the variable is correctly set.
