$_SESSION, session_is_registered

[B-B]

Platform: Win2k Server, Apache 1.3, PHP 4.2.3

I understand that when using $_SESSION variables, using the
"session_regist er()" function should not be done. I have seen no
documentation pertaining the the "why" of this, but I am removing the
offending statements from my code anyway.

Prior to discovering this tidbit, I had been attempting to save some arrrays
in individually registered variables. But the arrays were not being saved
between pages.

I have also attempted to save the array in a $_SESSION variable (e.g.
$SESSION['XYZ']=$XYZ, xyz being an array); still no joy (the data seems to
be ending up in the $_SESSION variable, but again it is not saved between
page requests).

"register_globa ls" is set to "On" in the INI file.

So, to the PHP world at large I ask "what am I missing"?

thanks

Have you looked at session_start() ...

*************** *************** *************** ****
session_start() creates a session (or resumes the current one based on
the session id being passed via a GET variable or a cookie).
If you want to use a named session, you must call session_name()
<function.sessi on-name.html> before calling session_start() .
This function always returns TRUE.
Note:
If you are using cookie-based sessions, you must call session_start()
before anything is output to the browser.
session_start() will register internal output handler for URL rewriting
when trans-sid is enabled. If a user uses ob_gzhandler or like with
ob_start() <function.ob-start.html>, the order of output handler is
important for proper output. For example, user must register
ob_gzhandler before session start.

Ooops. In that case your program might overwrite the variable.

Are you sure that your seesion id is transported to the next page via
gookies or get-parameter?
