If you mean register_globals, turn it back off. It's not doing you
any good and it's a security problem.

The last time I used the Win version of PHP, I vaguely remember that
the binary download didn't support sessions. I vaguely remember that
that has been changed, but it's been so long I'm no longer sure. I
vaguely remember my name, the date, and my geographical location.
In the past, I've successfully killed sessions by setting
session.use_cookies to TRUE and turning off cookies in the browser.
If you're not using cookies, you have to pass the session variables,
or preferably only the session ID, in the URL.
A more obscure problem involves forms that call their own files,
where the file contains code that runs only on the second call.
In cases where I was setting session variables on the second call,
I've had to restore the session ID and name to the values set in
the first call before setting the variable.
Good luck.
