Maybe just store it in a work variable? Why does it HAVE to come from
the $_SESSION variable?

Not exactly sure what you mean... How can you verify that the $_SESSION
variable is set if you also state you can't access it.

place this before your print_r statement: echo "";

then look in the source code of the resulting page. This will show you all
the $_SESSION variables and their values.

I can set a session and immediatley access it all day long... it has to be
something else. To me it appears that this could be the culprit:

print_r($_SESSI ON["${projectAcron ym}_customerSOW ObjectArray"]);

....what is "${projectAcron ym}_customerSOW ObjectArray"? In otherwords what
is 'projectAcronym '? It can do it this way too, no problem. If
'projectAcronym ' is a variable (it really has a $ in front of it) then you
need to make sure it is set properly. The $ can go inside the curly braces
as well and should keep things easier to read. Just try entering the little
code snippet above and you'll see what the session variables are.

The function returns an HTML string variable, I don't know of any other
way in PHP to store it for latter (but immediate) retrieval other than
via $_SESSION.

Else, please explain "work variable" to me.

Thanks, however, over the weekend I was able to brute-force it to work
by rewriting the entire function. To not dump out a 100-line function
to solve you all the heartache of dealing with mounds of raw code,
basically, it works now, sets and gets $_SESSION variable as it should,
so thanx!
