try just echoing $usernamelogin and see if you can get an out put from that ... it could be because $usernamelogin is not getting set

Subject: [PHP] Session questions

Hi all,

This might be a dumb question but can anybody tell me why on earth this
doesn't work ?

session_start()
$logged_in = session_is_registered("auth");

if($logged_in != true)
{

        if(!(pam_auth($usernamelogin,$pass,&$error)))
        {
                // send an error if it doens't login in
        }
        else
        {
                session_register($username);
                session_register($auth);
                $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"] = $usernamelogin;
                $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["auth"] = 1;
                

        }

        $user = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"];
        start_page("$user's home page");

}

Now the problem is, that although it auth's ok, and username and auth seem
to be set, anytime i try to access $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"] it is
blank.

Also if i try to use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"] directly in a string i
get and error about expecting one of a variety of string types.

Sorry if this is a really dumb question.

Jason
