note 29787 added to language.oop

hey everybody, sorry if this question is a little remedial, but i'm sort of a scope klutz. for some reason, i can't access $_SESSION within a class no matter how hard i try or where i place a "global $_SESSION;" statement. i tried declaring the class before and after session_start(), no dice either way. i can access $_SESSION immediately outside of the class declaration in the same include file, but for some stinkin' reason, i just can't see the session! any ideas warmly appreciated, __oscar the grouch -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29787 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29787 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29787
