| It turns out that the real problem was problem 1) I am not personally =
in
control of our web server.
I forwarded some of the posted messages to our IT department and they
decided to change what they were telling me. They actually had =
register
globals turned off not on. I changed my code to use the session array =
and
it works beautifully now.
Thank you all for your advice!

I can't comment on the use of register_globals or session_register as I =
always use the $_SESSION array but I do use PHP on IIS...
Something that you might like to check is that the directory specified =
by:
session.save_path
in the IIS server's php.ini is a directory writable by the user that =
IIS=20
masquerades. The default value for this is:
c:\php\sessiondata
which if your sy min installed php as Administrator will not be =
writable=20
by the IIS user (normally IUSR_<hostname> ).
Either get the symin to specify (& create) another dir that is =
writable=20
by IIS or change the permissions on c:\php\sessiondata
Assuming you're running apache on a Linux (and probably other un*x)=20
distribution you will find that the session.save_path variable is set=20
to /tmp which is usually world writable.
I think if you posted the exact error message it would tell me if this =
was=20
happening to you or not...
