Declaring Session

[Barkster]

Which one of these is the proper or suggested way to declare session
variables. I've seen so many different ways but when I use
session_registe r the pages are way slower.

1. session_registe r("MM_UserID" );
$HTTP_SESSION_V ARS['MM_UserID'] = $theID;

2. session_registe r("MM_UserID" );
$_SESSION['MM_UserID'] = $loginusername;

3. $_SESSION['MM_UserID'] = $loginusername;


Three works best for me and is the fastest but don't know the
advantages or disadvantages of doing it that way. Option two was
taking forever.

If you read the manual (http://php.net/session_register), you would see
that session_registe r() is deprecated, and has nothing to do with
$HTTP_SESSION_V ARS or $_SESSION.

$_SESSION is the way forward!

Thanks, must have missed that in the manual.
