I thought that when register_globals = off, all you need is
session_start() at the top of every page and from then on
session_register() isn't even needed. I also thought that in fact it
was safer to use $_SESSION['variablename'] than to use
session_register() each time (well, not safer, but a better habit for
the register_globals = off crowd).
I'm not disagreeing with you, just asking for clarification. I base
this on what I've read in the PHP manual on using session variables
(there are some indented blockquotes that suggest this technique for
PHP4.1-using register_globals=off-turning PHP coders).
