Re: RE:[newbie]session problem

Hiya Futher investigation has lead me to some strange results. I checked phpinfo() and made sure "register global variables is set=on". I then used: //In db api $num_results =mysql_num_rows($db_result); $_SESSION['num_results'] = $num_results; //In second file session_start(); require_once("db_api.php"); echo "THE num_result from db API is ".$_SESSION['num_results']; This seems to work.... when I try and use register_session() such as: //In db api $db_result = mysql_query($querystring); $num_results =mysql_num_rows($db_result); session_register("num_results"); //In second file if (session_is_registered("num_results")) echo "NUM RESULTS is $num_results"; I dont seem to get a value echoed. Not sure why? But hopefully $_SESSION will work now...thanks for all your help Toby and Janet -much appreciated :)

I am having troubles passing variables from page to page. I try to use: session_start(); session_register("test"); when echo $test on a different page it seems to be empty when not called from within the page originally created. I have session_start() on every page at the start just under the php syntax <? and also register the variables which I want global. I have edited the php.ini to set the session.save_path = "C:/windows/temp" and also have global variables set on Any suggestions to what it may be as it doesnt seem to produce any errors.
