Re: [PHP] a question, need an answer
I think you mean:
$_SESSION['eventid'] = 'arma2';
vs
$eventid = 'arma2';
session_register('eventid');
I'd advise the first, unless you need to ensure backwards compatibility with
PHP < 4.1

Both accomplish the same thing, except how you are using it might not be
what you expect.
$_SESSION['eventid'] = 'arma2';
will assign the string "arma2" to $_SESSION['eventid'] (obviously).
session_register('arama2');
will make the variable $arma2 a session variable. I believe you want
session_register('eventid')
The session_register way of doing things makes it act a lot like register_globals is on. It seems like we're trying to move away from this style of coding, so I'd suggest you use the first method with the $_SESSION variable.

PS, from the http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-register.php
page, you might want to read that because your second session call won't
work with register globals is disabled but $_SESSION array will. :)

I could be wrong here, but from my experiences with sessions is that your
first session_start()
is assigning the value of 'arma2' to the $_SESSION['eventid'] variable,
whereas the second one you are making the 'arama2' variable a global session
variable, so as to whatever it's value is on the page can be called from
subsequent pages like post would do with a form script after a user hits
submit.
I'm still learning PHP, so I could be way off, but that's how it's been
working for me. *Shrugs*
Good Luck
