Hi,

!!I'm A Newbie Alert!!

My server runs PHP version 4.4.3.

I'm successfully creating a session and can set and retrieve my own
session variables.

As far as I can tell the $_SESSION['uid'] variable should be created
automatically when session_start() is called. When I retrieve this
variable however it is empty.

Is this because -- manual -- "PHP directive register_globals went from ON
to OFF in PHP » 4.2.0." ??

If so: How do I turn register_globals on, do I just edit the .htaccess
file and add the line below (exactly as shown?

php_flag register_globals on

If not, any ideas why $_SESSION['uid'] does not have a value?

Note the value of $_SESSION['cookie'] is also empty, isn't that also
supposed to be created and sent to the browser automatically by
session_start() ?? --My browser does not receive a cookie either?

In a muddle, regards, etc..
