I have one tip regarding sessions and PHP > 4.2 (maybe > 4.1 even)
Don't use "session_register()"! ONLY use $_SESSION to get data in and out
of sessions. session_register() is an evil function that needs black
voodoo magic incantations and the wind blowing in the right direction to
work (consistently, at least).
$_SESSION *always* works (well, as close to "always" as you can get when
talking about computer programming). And is *MUCH* more straightforward
than session_register().
Just a tip. Of course, you *do* have to remember to do session_start() on
each PHP page that is going to be "in session".
I also recommend putting all of your configuration information, including
the "session_start()" command, in an external file and calling that file
using include() or require() at the start of each page within the same PHP
application.
later...
