[PHP] Sessions with register_globals = Off From: A Complete Luser (acompleteluser <email protected>)

Hi all,

I am trying to implement sessions to authenticate users to my site. I
have register_globals = Off; to force developers on the machine to use
$HTTP_GET_VARS and $HTTP_POST_VARS

But once I do a session register, I can't seem to access the variables
later. I have looked in the sess file in /tmp and the session doesn't
seem to be stored.

I have tried the following :

session_start();
session_register("user_level");
session_register("user_email_address");
session_register("user_first_name");
session_register("user_last_name");
session_register("user_name");
session_register("auth");
return("YES");

Then in the function that called this, I do
printf("User_level = %s<br>", $user_level);
printf("User_name = %s<br>", $user_name);

I also tried
printf("User_level = %s<br>", $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user_level"]);
printf("User_name = %s<br>", $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user_name"]);

neither of these found anything... Is there any way to do this without
turning global_vars on ?

Thanks,
