Hi Curt,
I'm confused..
<quote>
With $_SESSION, there is no need to use the session_register(),
session_unregister(), session_is_registered() functions. Session
variables are accessible like any other variables.
</quote>
I'm using
session_start();
session_register('username');
$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
session_register('user_id');
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $row['user_id'];
session_register('access_level');
$_SESSION['access_level'] = $row['access_level'];
and checking if user is authenticated using
if ( session_is_registered('user_id') )
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
Am I in error? (I'm trying to code using register_globals=off)
Cheers,
Mun Heng, Ow

You don't need those two lines, they are only needed if ini.register_globals
is on and you want the variables $logged and $user to automatically be
sessioned as:
$_SESSION['logged']
$_SESSION['user']

With $_SESSION, there is no need to use the session_register(),
session_unregister(), session_is_registered() functions. Session
variables are accessible like any other variables.

I think this is were your problem is.
Also what php version?
<quote CAUTION>
If you are using $_SESSION and disable register_globals, do not use
session_register(), session_is_registered() and session_unregister(), if
your scripts shall work in PHP 4.2 and earlier. You can use these
functions in 4.3 and later.

Hmm.. After looking at the session_* documentation there are CAUTIONS
all over the place...... The all seem to say dont use sesion_register,
unregister, and is_registered when your using $_SESSION;

Use: unset($_SESSION['goto']);
