Displaying session variable

[schoch]

I can view the username, but the password cannot be displayed on the page.
This is a login form and I want to be able to display the password on one of the interior restricted pages. however it doesn't seem to be registering the variable. The username can be displayed but not the password, why?

<?php
// *** Validate request to login to this site.
session_start();

$loginFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($accesscheck)) {
  $GLOBALS['PrevUrl'] = $accesscheck;
  session_register('PrevUrl');
}

if (isset($_POST['username'])) {
  $loginUsername=$_POST['username'];
  $password=$_POST['password'];
  $MM_fldUserAuthorization = "usergroup";
  $MM_redirectLoginSuccess = "admin_menu.php";
  $MM_redirectLoginFailed = "login.php";
  $MM_redirecttoReferrer = false;
  mysql_select_db($database_voip, $voip);
      
  $LoginRS__query=sprintf("SELECT franchisee_name, franchisee_code, usergroup FROM franchisee WHERE franchisee_name='%s' AND franchisee_code='%s'",
  get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? $loginUsername : addslashes($loginUsername), get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? $password : addslashes($password)); 
   
  $LoginRS = mysql_query($LoginRS__query, $voip) or die(mysql_error());
  $loginFoundUser = mysql_num_rows($LoginRS);
  if ($loginFoundUser) {
    
    $loginStrGroup  = mysql_result($LoginRS,0,'usergroup');
    
    $GLOBALS['MM_Username'] = $loginUsername;
        $GLOBALS['MM_Password'] = $password;
   $GLOBALS['MM_UserGroup'] = $loginStrGroup;          

    //register the session variables
    session_register("MM_Username");
        session_register("MM_Password");
   session_register("MM_UserGroup");

    if (isset($_SESSION['PrevUrl']) && false) {
      $MM_redirectLoginSuccess = $_SESSION['PrevUrl'];    
    }
    header("Location: " . $MM_redirectLoginSuccess );
  }
  else {
    header("Location: ". $MM_redirectLoginFailed );
  }
}
?>

Then when I go to display the session variable I use

<?php echo $_SESSION['MM_Password']; ?>

depends how your password is stored...you may need to unhash it.also I would suggest that you do not drag passwords in sessions but rather pull them from the table as needed based on the fact that user has authenticated.
All the best!
