in contradiction to the above note that session_register() takes the current value of a variable and does not watch for changes, this code sample works as intuitivly expected: <?PHP session_start(); echo $_SESSION['i']; $i = 2; session_register('i'); $i = 3; echo '<a href="'.$PHP_SELF.'">click here</a>'; ?> this will result in $_SESSION['i] having the value of 3 after the first click. this is not true for this sample: <?PHP session_start(); echo $_SESSION['i']; $i = 2; $_SESSION['i'] = $i; $i = 3; echo '<a href="'.$PHP_SELF.'">click here</a>'; ?> this will result in $_SESSION['i'] having the value 2 after the first click, but having the value of 3 after the second click... at least this is true for php4.2.3 on apache/win32 greetings -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-register.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26510 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26510 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26510
