I'm a bit confused by your description. Seeing the code itself would be
much more of a help. One thing that I notice though is that you say you
session_register 'myvar' on the first page. But the value for myvar isn't
actually set until after the form has been submitted, right? What might
happen is that since myvar is set (assuming register_globals is on in your
php.ini), on the 2nd page it's echoing the value of myvar from the
submitted form, not from the session variable.
But like I said, it would help much more to see the snippits of code in
question.. :)
