I remember having read that there are numerous changes regarding global variables and sessions variables in 4.1 compared to previous versions. Here is how I use sessions variables and it works flawessly for me with PHP 4.1 / ISAPI / IIS 5.0 : session_start(); $vcu = &$_SESSION["visitcountupdated"]; .. $vcu = TRUE; That is, I always act on sessions variables through the $_SESSION array (I do not make use of the register() function.) To simplify writing in my scripts I often starts as above by creating a short-hand variable and have it reference the $_SESSION element as in the above $vcu = &$_SESSION["visitcountupdated"]; The real session variable is "visitcountupdated", but the variable I use and update in the script is $vcu which is a shorthand for the other one. I do not know if that is the best way to do it, but it undoubtly works great for me on the above configuration. -- Olivier Mascia <om@mascia.biz>
