I could be wrong here, but from my experiences with sessions is that your first session_start() is assigning the value of 'arma2' to the $_SESSION['eventid'] variable, whereas the second one you are making the 'arama2' variable a global session variable, so as to whatever it's value is on the page can be called from subsequent pages like post would do with a form script after a user hits submit.
I'm still learning PHP, so I could be way off, but that's how it's been working for me. *Shrugs* Good Luck -----Original Message----- From: nabil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2003 1:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] a question, need an answer what is the diffirent between : ////////// session_start (); $_SESSION['eventid'] = 'arma2'; /////////// and ///////////// session_start (); session_register('arama2'); /////////// Regards Nabil -- ""open source world, open mind for all"" -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
