Thanks guys but I have register globals ON so once the session variable is defined I should be able to address it without specifying $_SESSION ?

[snip] > $_SESSION['element_countp'] = count($p_lnames); > echo "TEST 1".$element_countp; > > $element_countp = $_SESSION['element_countp']; > echo "TEST 2".$element_countp; because in test 1 $element_countp has not been assigned anything yet. $_SESSION['element_countp'] and $element_countp are *not* the same variable (it appears that you think they are). in test 2 you assign the value of $_SESSION['element_countp'] to $element_countp so that's why test 2 works. hth, chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
