try using the $_SESSION superglobal var (google is your friend if its new to you.)
no need to register (still need to do session_start() though) just do...
$_SESSION['MyValue'] = array(
'name' => $username,
'level' => $account_level
);...or something like that. (also works for objects - which is only gets really cool in php5 - be aware that classes for objects stored in your session should be loaded BEFORE you start the session.)

I am attempting to get information from a mysql database and then use
this in a session. Is there a trick to using sessions? For example, can
something like below be placed anywhere in a script? (I have the session_start(); at the very top of my page.)
session_register( "session_username" ); session_register( "session_level" ); $session_username = "$username";
$session_level = "$account_level";
The resulting session is
session_username|N;session_level|i:0;
$username is set to warren and $account_level is set to 255.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have gone through about 5 books and searched the net and can't find an answer as to why this isn't working.
