[PHP] Checking Session Vars in Functions

[Monty]

I have PHP 4.2.2 with register_globals=off.

It seems like session vars stored in $_SESSION[] aren't visible to
functions. For example, this won't work for me:

$status = user_access();

function user_access() {
  if ( isset($_SESSION['user']) ) { return 1; }
  else { return 0; }
}

Result is that $status = 0 even though I know those session vars are set.


if ( isset($_SESSION['user']) ) {
    echo "Logged In";
} else {
    echo "Not Logged In";
}

Result for the above is "Logged In" even though I'm checking the same
session var. My script does include session_start(); as well.

So, is there a way I access session vars stores in $_SESSION[] from a custom
function? Thanks!  

Monty
