RE: [PHP4BETA] regarding session_register...

I always used the session_start() function on a auto_prepend .inc file, but looking at these messages, I tried to use the session.auto_start config variable thus removing the session_start() from my prepend_files. Now, each page acessed generates a new session, instead of using the first one created. I think the behavior should not be this way... Is there something wrong here? I'm using output buffering. I have compiled the latest CVS, about half an hour ago. Giancarlo Bonansea Technology Consultant TESEtec Tecnologia e Solucoes Educacionais Ltda.

Are you calling session_start(); and session_register("var"); before any http tags? If you're not, it won't work. They must be the first thing the browser receives (before and http tags/web page/java script etc...). Correct me if I'm wrong. -Dave Sheckler Hans Rakers wrote: > > On Fri, 10 Dec 1999, you wrote: > > On Fri, 10 Dec 1999, Hans Rakers wrote: > > > > > > Hello all, > > > > > > Is it normal behaviour that session_register has to be called across various > > > script files to retreive a value from a session?
