I do not believe it will be very informative but: Input of data: session_start(); $sess_login[adress] = $adress; session_register("sess_login"); To retrieve the data: <? session_start() ?> <input type="text" size="20" name="adress" maxlength="60" value="<?=$sess_login[adress]?>"> I have not tested this to generate the error. I have installed php 4.0.4pl1 and it seems to work by now.

While they are in memory they are perfectly Ok. It appears that some function is using a shell-call or something to read the contents of the stored session-variables instead of using a normal read. At least this is my interpretation of the error. Input is taken from <input> -fields and output is generated like <input value="<?=$sessionvariable?>"> Regards Per-Olof Pettersson --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8669 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
