I think the problem is one of scope.. though I have never tried starting a
session inside a function so I really don't know how it operates. But if
you do something like..
/********************/
function is_valid($user, $privs)
{
// validate user..
if ($valid) {return TRUE;}
}
if (is_valid($user, $privs))
{
session_start();
session_register(user);
session_register(privs);
}
/********************/
I don't know the answer to your question but this work with out a doubt as
it avoids any unkown problems with the scope of the session variables.
