Hiya

Futher investigation has lead me to some strange results. I checked
phpinfo() and made sure "register global variables is set=on".

I then used:

//In db api
$num_results =mysql_num_rows($db_result);
$_SESSION['num_results'] = $num_results;

//In second file
session_start();
require_once("db_api.php");
echo "THE num_result from db API is ".$_SESSION['num_results'];

This seems to work....

when I try and use register_session() such as:

//In db api
$db_result = mysql_query($querystring);
$num_results =mysql_num_rows($db_result);
session_register("num_results");

//In second file
if (session_is_registered("num_results"))
echo "NUM RESULTS is $num_results";

I dont seem to get a value echoed. Not sure why?

But hopefully $_SESSION will work now...thanks for all your help
Toby and Janet -much appreciated :)
