The first scriptfile (where i start the session) contains this: session_start(); session_name($authrow[authorName]); session_register("tekoopUID"); $tekoopUID=$authrow[authorID]; Now somewhere else in the website i want to pull out the value for 'tekoopUID' from the session, but $tekoopUID contains nothing. It does return the original value after calling session_register("tekoopUID") again. Or do i have to use session_start() again (instead of session_register) at this point to be able to retreive the registered variables in the session ? BTW: Is this mailinglist archived on the web somewhere? Thanks again, Hans Rakers
