What's line 38 - is it the line where you assign to it, or is it the line
with the echo?
If it's the line with the assignment - duh, this should work IMHO
if it's the line with the echo - you got nothing from mysql and didn't
start the session.
BTW - you shouldn't mix session_register() and accessing the $_SESSION
array. Definetely it's not needed.
