I have some php 4 code that is being tested on a php 5 site. The (fairly simplistic) login uses a $_SESSION variable to track a valid login, but under php 5 it seems to lose its values when moving to a different php page.

A quick scan of the documents didn't show anything obvious about version 4 vs version 5 differences. The code uses session_start(), then checks $_SESSION['loginstuff_notactualkey'] for the user name.

Is this a coding practice that should be changed with version 5?
