session variables problem?

[safra]

Hi,

In one web site I have to sections that use session variables.

In the first section it is working fine. In the second section however it doesn't although I use the same approach. I can't figure out where the problem is.

at the top of the page I use:
<?
start_session();
?>

then in the page:

<?
session_register($ownerID);
$ownerID = $myrow[&quot;id&quot;];
?>

when testing it in the same page, the value of $ownerID is correct.

In the next page, I put this on top:
<?
start_session();
?>

testing the value of $ownerID results in nothing?

Any ideas what is going wrong and is there a way to test if the variable is stored in the session?

Thanks,
Safra

you should use
session_register(&quot;$ownerID&quot;

PAY ATTENTION AT THE EXPLICATION MARKS!

Sorry I did a mistake!
It should be:
session_register(&quot;ownerID&quot;

WITHOUT THE DOLLAR SIGN.

Now we got it .. I hope

Thanks Bimmel that worked!

I was being stupid as the reason why I thought it did work in the other section was because the same variable is passed through a form.
