RE: [PHP] Session variable under PHP 4.0.6

[Johnson, Kirk]

In the first file, replace this line:

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['variable']="the variables value";

with these two lines:

$variable = "the variables value";
session_register('variable');

This is because 'register_globals' is enabled in the php.ini file.
