I'm not the admin on the server, so I'll have to manage with the software
provided. And that is php 4.0.6.
I've tried a number of ways to store variables in the session file. This
works:
session_start();
$foo = 'bar';
session_register('foo');
then after session_write_close(); or end of script:
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo']; will output 'bar'.
just adding variables directly into the HTTP_SESSION_VARS array won't make
them stick in the session file. Use of session_register() seems to be
required.

> Not true -- $HTTP_SESSION_VARS is *not* like $_SESSION, and its values are
*not* auto-registered. In fact, I still have my copy of the 4.0.6 manual
around, and it specifically gives this as an example:

regardless of the register_globals setting, as it also gives this as an
example:

for each setting of register_globals -- but there seems little point given
that using $_SESSION has been much the best option for several versions now!
