I am not sure what I have to do in order to  control sessions in PHP
4.33 when globals are set to off.
I used to use the following function to check if the user was of admin
status;
function check_admin_user()
// see if somebody is logged in as admin and notify them if not
{
  global $admin_user;
  if ( (session_is_registered("admin_user")) && (isset($admin_user)) )
    return true;
  else
    return false;
} 

Then in my protected pages I would say;
if (check_admin_user())
// if you're an admin user display the following
{
Session_register("admin_user");
// Do admin functions
}
Else
{
//Do login form
}
How do I adapt the check_admin_user() function and the pages to work in
4.33?
Thanks,
